Description: | The African Academy set up by Zachary Macaulay at his house on Clapham Common provided an education for free Africans from Sierra Leone who were then to return to their land as missionaries. Unlike the Lambeth Baptisms of black people who were almost exclusively servants and slaves, the Clapham Register (shown here) for July 31 shows that the Academy included the sons of local kings and tribal rulers.
