Description
"If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it." -- Sojourner Truth
"There are two things I've got a right to, and these are, Death or Liberty -- one or the other I mean to have. No one will take me back alive; I shall fight for my liberty, and when the time has come for me to go, the Lord will let them, kill me." -- Harriet Tubman
Few stories are as harrowing or heartbreaking as the memoirs of those who suffered the dehumanizing evils of slavery. Their survival stories offer testaments to heroism in the face of daunting odds. In addition to the inspirational stories of two giants of American history, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, this collection includes the account of Solomon Northup (12 Years a Slave) alongside similar tales but Austin Steward (22 Years a Slave), and Elizabeth Keckley (30 Years a Slave) and more... Their stories reflect America, and humanity, at its best and worst.
