Ex-Slaves Tell Their Stories
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Only a handful of first-person accounts by American slaves who ran away and freed themselves are known to exist. Two of those accounts, by former slaves Wallace Turnage (1846–1916) and John Washington (1838–1918), have now been published in a new book by historian David Blight, called A Slave No More.
A Slave No More is available for purchase at amazon.com
