Du désespoir à la liberté : Julia May Jackson, sur le chemin de fer clandestin

Bradford, Karleen (author.). Faubert, Martine, (translator.).

Summary: Julia May and her family have fled from their life of slavery on a tobacco plantation in Virginia, and are walking north, where they have heard that slaves can live free. Their terrifying journey, detailed in Julia's diary, takes them through swamps, travelling by night and hiding by day. Learning to read was already forbidden for a slave girl, and as Julia records the extraordinary things she sees during her journey, she is deeply afraid that she'll be found out and suffer the consequences.
