Sarah Baartman died on 1815-12-29.
Sarah Baartman, displayed as a freak because of her unusual physical features, has finally been laid to rest, 187 years after she left Cape Town for London. Her remains were buried on Women's Day, 9 August 2002, in the area of her birth, the Gamtoos River Valley in the Eastern Cape. Baartman was born in 1789. She was working as a slave in Cape Town when she was "discovered" by British ship's doctor William Dunlop, who persuaded her to travel with him to England. We'll never know what she had in mind when she stepped on board - of her own free will

Sarah Baartman was treated like an animal and not human by the showmen who brought her to Europe to showcase as a freak show attraction. The racism continued after her death as her body was subjected to a dissection, the results of which claimed that she bore more similarities to an ape than a human. Until 1974, her preserved skeleton, brain, and genitals were on display at the Musee de lÕHomme. It wasnÕt until 2002 that her remains were sent back to her home country of South Africa and buried.
