Sarah Parker Remond (1826-1894), African-American anti-slavery activist and doctor. Brought up in Salem, Massachusetts, in a family active in the slavery abolition movement, she lectured widely and raised funds to such effect that she was sent in 1858 on a tour of Britain to speak against slavery. Never to return to the USA, she moved to Florence in 1866 where she studied and then practised medicine. Marriage to Lazzaro Pintor then brought her to Rome where she eventually died.
