Download In the Shadow of Liberty: The Hidden History of Slavery, Four Presidents, and Five Black Lives AudioBook Free
Did you know that many of America's Founding Fathers - who fought for liberty and justice for everyone - were slave owners? Through the powerful experiences of five enslaved people who had been "owned" by four of our own ideal presidents, this publication helps set the record in a straight line about the role slavery enjoyed in the founding of America. From Billy Lee, valet to George Washington, to Alfred Jackson, faithful servant of Andrew Jackson, these dramatic narratives explore our country's great tragedy - that a country "conceived in liberty" was also delivered in shackles. These experiences help us know the true people who had been necessary to the birth of the nation but usually have been left out of the annals books. Their experiences are true - plus they should be listened to. Read by Ken Davis, with Frankie Faison, Keith David, JD Jackson, Adenrele Ojo, Adam Lazarre-White, Dion Graham, and Draw Bramhall.
