"I had been sold and I had no will of my own and I could not look after my body and health... that I am a slave and would therefore come and complain." With these words, Abina Mansah described to an unsympathetic courtroom her experiences and her reasons for bringing charges against her former master. The important men in the courtroom may not have listened to her, but her words were recorded so that we can hear them today. In this book, the silencing of so many young, enslaved girls is challenged through the courageous actions and bold declarations of Abina Mansah, and contextualized for use in the classroom or the education of the individual reader.
Below you will find a "Featured Content" section which highlights various sections of the website, and a link to the book's Facebook page.
Thank you for visiting.
Sincerely,
