Description
From Slave Ship to Freedom Road by Julius Lester is a powerful exploration of the slave experience. Using vivid paintings as inspiration, Julius Lester brings history to life with a text that places each reader squarely inside the skin of both slave and slaveowner.
This book presents not just historical facts, but the raw emotions of the people who lived through this period. It's a moving portrayal of the struggles and hardships faced by those on the Middle Passage, at the auction block, and in the fight for freedom.
