The Story of Slavery

This book is just what I needed to introduce my young daughter to this difficult subject. It follows a historical time line starting with slavery in ancient times and up to today. It mentions important historical figures such as Spartacus, Harriet Tubman,Toussaint L'Ouverture, John Eibner and more. The illustrations include historical engravings, posters, photographs and paintings. I used this book as a preamble to explaining racism, the civil rights movement and celebrating Martin Luther King day. A valuable tool to open discussion and exposing a child to the horrors of slavery.
