Out of the Mouths of Slaves: African-American Oral History

They had no pens and they had no paper, but it didn't matter. Slaves had plenty to say and share – their stories, their sufferings, their wisdom, their wit. Words spoken and tales told completely unfiltered by others can teach young people not only the facts, but the very soul of what happened in the past. Hear the people of the past in their own words through diaries, interviews, quotations, poetry, and songs. 36 pages, softcover. Ages 8-13.
