Yasuke and Gaspar Yanga were African slaves, taken from their lands by Europeans and taken to other continents by force. Although established in different places, both were significant in each region.
Yasuke was a slave of the Portuguese empire and was first taken to India to serve Portuguese families and their expansionist goals. Little is known about how he got his freedom, but it happened in India before he met the Jesuit Valignano, who was on a trip to Japan. Yasuke traveled with him and there he received the job of bodyguard and valet.
Gaspar Yanga was taken to America by the Spanish Empire and served Spanish and Mexican families. He organized a revolt among the slaves, who turned against the Spaniards and attacked them. This attack was aimed at the freedom of slaves, exchange of tributes, and mutual protection between Spaniards and ex-slaves. These wishes were granted after many days of the conflict.
