4.9/5 (30136 ratings)

Description:The U.S. Supreme Court declared Dred Scott a piece of property; Speak Right On explores the story of the man, the history of a century. From the eastern coast of Virginia to the farthest reaches of the U.S. frontier, from house slave to the field hand to surgeon’s assistant, from boy to man, from young love to family life, from enslavement to freedom, this is an epic story of dignity and determination. Critically acclaimed when first published in 2006, this minimally edited second edition with new cover offers readers a new foreword by Lynne Jackson, great-great-granddaughter of Harriet and Dred Scott, and founder of the The Dred Scott Heritage Foundation.Set in the first half of the 1800's, it covers the life of Dred Scott and his journey through slavery to the US Supreme Court. His legal case is typically referred to as a flashpoint for the Civil War. While libraries are filled with books about the legal case, very little is known or written about the man. I researched his life, his owners, cultures of slavery, and African folklore to create what the academics call a neo-slave narrative. Scenes vary from first-person accounts spoken by Dred to third-person narration. “He who does his best for his own time, lives for all times.” (Igbo proverb)This second edition will be available November 15, 2015.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
