Reviews

An autobiography. NOT a fictional account


(5 stars)

This book was a real story, by a real ex-slave. I note that not once did he call for reparation; simply an opportunity to peacefully coexist in America. The reading was excellent. I urge you to listen to this book and share it with others.

Everybody should read this.


(5 stars)

This is a brilliant book, full of compelling ideas, arguments, and quotes. It would be good for society if more people read it.

An Undersung Saint


(5 stars)

This text remains a forever powerful masterpiece to a brilliant life. It also doesn't hide the real systematic hardships he faced. But to see him overcome and help others, is something everyone can equally learn from. Please reread!
