About This Item
New York:: Atheneum,, (1990). Hardcover -. Ex-library with the usual markings, but overall tight and clean in a fine unmarked dust jacket.. 3rd printing. A book written for older children which describes the ways in which enslaved Black men and women resisted their slavery "Here the victims of injustice and cruelty speak for themselves: 'So galling was our bondage, that to escape from it, we suffered the loss of all things, and braved every peril, and endured every hardship,' a fugitive slave testifies. Famous mentors, such as Dred Scott, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, are vividly depicted, as are anonymous resisters: men and women who secretly preserved their African heritage; others who sent hidden messages to one another through drumbeats or took heart from the liberating themes of gospel songs; mothers who hid children in the woods to prevent the master from selling them. Several lengthy, informative chapters document black participation in the Civil War." Illustrations, bibliography, index. xiii, 194 pp.
