Where did the struggle of Black slaves in America for the right to be free—and to call themselves human—begin? How did it transform into the BLM movement? What did people have to go through on the way from the holds of slave ships to the podiums of Parliament? The American classic, writer, politician, educator, and former slave Booker T. Washington tells the story of the earliest days of Black people fighting for their rights. You’ll hear about how enslaved people died in the ship holds, about brutal torture, incredible escapes, and the creation of the “Underground Railroad” system—thanks to which hundreds of slaves managed to flee their owners.
