Bigger than life kind of guy. American education deprives kids of inspiring autobiographies. I’d always thought of Livingstone mostly as an explorer and wasn’t all that aware of his humanitarian bent. From what I've seen so far, I think he estimated 4 out of 5 slaves died getting dragged out of the African interior. Curious, the heat directed at American slavery when Arabs slaughtered Africans to keep the trade going. That’s probably a cancel-worthy comment.
