Wonderful slant against the pervasive view in early America regarding the authentic life of slaves. Breaking the stereotype of them as dumb and having no feelings of love or grief, or pain. I first bumped the air a few times, laughed, and felt the deep sadness at how long it takes for the world to change. I like to think that the arc of history is long, but that it bends towards justice, but why does it take so long.... Bravo, Mr. Everett.
