Omar ibn Said (Arabic: عمر بن سعيد, romanized: ʿUmar bin Saeed or Omar ben Saeed;[1] c. 1770–1864) was a Fula Muslim scholar from Futa Toro in West Africa (present-day Senegal), who was enslaved and transported to the United States in 1807. Remaining enslaved for the remainder of his life, he wrote a series of Arabic-language works on history and theology, including a short autobiography. (Source: Wikipedia)
