The Long Walk to Freedom
ByPublisher Description
In this groundbreaking compilation of first-person accounts of the runaway slave phenomenon, editors Devon Carbado and Donald Weise have recovered twelve narratives spanning eight decades—more than half of which have been long out of print. Told in the voices of the runaway slaves themselves, these narratives reveal the extraordinary and often innovative ways that these men and women sought freedom and demanded citizenship.

“Moving and powerful. should be a mandatory read for white people, especially those who dismiss the generational effects of slavery because it "happened so long ago." Let's do the math: Slavery was only abolished 158 years ago, and up until that point had been an active institution for over 400 years... so let's retire that argument, yes?”
