This book is a must read for the story-- Oluale Kossola aka Cudjo Lewis, who was violently taken from his home in what is thought to be present day Benin. He was 19. Enslaved for five years before emancipation, this book shares his story of trying to get home and make a home.
The bigger story is that Hurston stood her ground and was committed to his story being published in his voice. I'm grateful for her steadfastness.
