Description
'From the Darkness Cometh the Light; Or, Struggles for Freedom' is a gripping autobiography of Lucy Ann Delaney, a young girl born into slavery, who fought for her freedom in a court of law. Despite the victory, she faced numerous obstacles in helping other former slaves and her tale highlights the ongoing struggles faced by African Americans. Though shorter than other slave narratives, Delaney's story is unique as the only first-person account of a freedom suit in the courts of St Louis. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about the true stories of slavery in the United States, featuring riveting episodes of kidnapping, separation, tragedy, and ultimately, triumph.
