Going Underground: Race, Space, and the Subterranean in the Nineteenth-Century United States

The word “underground” conjures many ideas in our minds. Those of us skewed toward an understanding of 19th-century U.S. history inevitably think of the Underground Railroad. In Going Underground: Race, Space, and the Subterranean in the Nineteenth-Century United States, Lara Langer Cohen analyzes the concept of the underground through – as alluded to in the title of the work – race and space.

Running a Thousand Miles to Freedom or, The Escape of William and Ellen ...

Preface: HAVING heard while in Slavery that "God made of one blood all nations of men," and also that the American Declaration of Independence says, that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;" we could not understand by what right we were held as "chattels." Therefore, we felt perfectly justified in undertaking the dangerous and exciting task of "running a thousand miles" in order to obtain those rights which are so vividly set forth in the Declaration.

I beg those who would know the particulars of our journey, to peruse these pages.

This book is not intended as a full history of the life of my wife, nor of myself; but merely as an account of our escape; together with other matter which I hope may be the means of creating in some minds a deeper abhorrence of the sinful and abominable practice of enslaving and brutifying our fellow-creatures.

My One Punch Man fan oc Imani!! She’s an Esper who can can also control water and maybe fire??

The last several mornings, I’ve been dipping into Zora Neale Hurston’s TELL MY HORSE. This is her nonfiction work about her time in Haiti and Jamaica - infused with her wit and humor. SYNOPSIS: Based on acclaimed author Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica—where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer during her visits in the 1930s—Tell My Horse is a fascinating firsthand account of the mysteries of Voodoo. An invaluable resource and remarkable guide to Voodoo practices, rituals, and beliefs, it is a travelogue into a dark, mystical world that offers a vividly authentic picture of ceremonies, customs, and superstitions. #ZoraNealeHurston #NonFiction #Reading #AmReading #TellMyHorse #Jamaica #Haiti #Voodoo #History #Religion #Anthropology #Travel #Classic #Folklore #Memoir #AfricanAmerican #Spirituality #FemaleAuthor #BlackAuthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNAmfoLE0P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
