To Be a Slave

A heartbreaking journey through slavery coming straight from the lips of those that lived it, or were the close generations following. Lester has put together a phenomenal account that is made accessible to a wider/younger audience. It is important that children know these stories, that we teach them the truth of what really happened. Maybe, in time, the bitterness Lester chooses to focus on at the end of this book will be eased and mended; if we all work towards that goal instead of against it.
