Book cover

In this powerful and eye-opening collection, readers are given a firsthand account of the brutal reality of slavery from the perspective of those who lived through it. The personal stories shared by former slaves in Alabama paint a vivid picture of the hardships they endured, from the backbreaking labor to the constant threat of violence and separation from loved ones.

The raw and honest narratives provide a rare glimpse into the emotional and psychological toll that slavery took on individuals and families. It is impossible not to be moved by the resilience and strength of these individuals who fought for their freedom and dignity in the face of unimaginable adversity.

The inclusion of these narratives in the public record is invaluable, as they serve as a reminder of the atrocities of slavery and the ongoing struggle for equality and justice. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of American history and the enduring legacy of slavery.
