Summary |
With a profoundly moving text and twenty-four magnificent paintings, Julius Lester and Rod Brown depict the course of slavery, beginning with the ships sailing from Africa and continuing through the Civil War. Invoking the memories of ancestors whose names they do not know, Lester and Brown reveal the inner life of the slaves expressed in their secret worship meetings, their heroic escapes, and their joy about freedom. |
