Wilberforce did not work closely with Olaudah Equiano, the former slave. They likely met each other at some point, but the movie added him because he was an important abolitionist who lived in England around the same time. From what i can find it is believed they met, but no proof.

There were several people involved in various countries of the world. One notable name is William Wilberforce. Some other people who helped out were Thomas Clarkson and olaudah equiano. Google them you find out loads! ;)
Well Olaudah Equiano... |x..In 1789 Olaudah Equiano wrote the story of his life. This was widely read and turned many people against slavery. He travelled the country speaking at meetings and worked closely with other abolishionists like Granville Sharp. In fact it was Equiano who brought the case of slave ship Zong to the publics attention. He died in 1797. I hoped That Helped!!! I Cant Remember What Wilberforce Did!..x| ?...Umm yeah William Wilberforce spent many years trying to abolish the slavery he also presented loads of bills to the British Parliament but the final abolition didnt happen until a month after William death. I think the main reason it tok so long is because the slaves brung us sugar cotton and other stuff also they were cheap and effective houshold servants in the time of the 1800 and even before then!!!...Umm yeah hope this helps! x
Olaudah Equiano's sister's name was unknown. She is not mentioned by name in Equiano's autobiography.
He met his wife, whilst he was touring round Europe wit his good friend Isoiac Milner
