Voices of Carolina Slave Children

Rating:
Summary: A great read for all ages
Review: I got this book beacause I heard an interview with the author and it sounded interesting. I did not know if I would like it or not; I'm not some bleeding-heart liberal, just your average WASP Southerner. The story of how the information in this book came to be recorded is amazing enough, but when I started reading the short little stories told by adults who had been slaves in their childhood, I could not put it down. Funny, Southern, touching, sad, memorable! If you want to know what it means to live in the South today, you MUST read this book. It is the history we build on today.
