Riveting

The author's words and the narrator's voice took me there. I was with my people on that ship. I saw the great suffering that my people had to endure in my mind. I felt their pain. I am thankful for the strength of my people because I am here.

Difficult but Heroism Prevailed

The most unimaginable strength was displayed by these captured Africans who DID NOT BENEFIT FROM SLAVERY!!!!! Only an idiot would make such a statement!!!!!!

The nature of the story.
