Ten slaves tell their stories in this collection that covers the range of the slave experience, from the passage across the Atlantic to daily life as a slave both on large plantations and in the city, and from escaping slavery to fighting in the Civil War. The writings of Olaudah Equiano, Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, Harriet Jacobs, Elizabeth Keckley, and other less famous slaves are included.
