Samboo's Grave: A child's response

This is one of a group of poems written by local children in response to the grave of an 18th century African man referred to locally as Samboo. The grave is located near the village of Sunderland Point on the Lune Estuary. The grave and his story is a reminder of role the local ports played in the Transatlantic slave trade.
