Interesting read!! Kwame Anthony Appiah on Anton Wilhelm Amo https://lithub.com/on-the-kidnapped-african-boy-who-became-a-german-philosopher/ …
The image in the article is of Avram Petrovich Gannibal. It comes up in Google image searches on Amo. I've written to Google a few times to get them to correct this. No luck so far. There are no confirmed images of Amo in existence.

Wow. In many respects that’s not surprising. But I certainly wouldn’t have caught it. Amo is someone I know very little about, and that’s something I hope to rectify.

Let me know if you want to see the draft translation and long biographical intro I've written with Stephen Menn for our forthcoming, A. W. Amo: Selected Writings. Will be happy to send it.
