Setting out to correct the inadequacies of many written accounts of
slavery, teacher and social activist Octavia Albert added her own
incisive commentary to the personal narratives of former slaves.
Her early interviews, like many antebellum slave narratives, depict
cruel punishments, divided families, and debilitating labour.
Seeing herself as a public advocate for social change, Albert
called for every Christian's personal acceptance of responsibility
for slavery's legacies and lessons. As well as its historical
value, the book has many merits as a work of literature, using
dialogue and experiments with dialect, and incorporating songs and
poems in the text.
