Black Georgian Research

We have been learning about the lives of black people during the Georgian era this term, and you have been asked to research the lives of particular black Georgians.  What questions did you have regarding their lives that led your research?

For instance, If I were researching Tom Molyneux, I might want to know: When did he start boxing? What did his father do? What kind of childhood did he have?
