Many Thousand Gone: African Americans from Slavery to Freedom

Unavailable for several years, Virginia Hamiltons award-winning companion toThe People Could Flytraces the history of slavery in America in the voices and stories of those who lived it. Leo and Diane Dillons brilliant black-and-white illustrations echo the stories subtlety and power, making this book as stunning to look at as it is to read. There is probably no better way to convey the meaning of the institution of slavery as it existed in the United States to young readers than by using, as a text to share and discuss,Many Thousand Gone.
