Thanksgiving on our Plantation
​
Tomas, a young 11-year old boy born on Mr. Jones plantation that was full of adventure. It was during the Thanksgiving holidays and he really enjoy spending time with family and plantation friends. Read this wonderful book to see how a typical Thanksgiving was for Tomas, his family, and friends. Africans took time to be thankful for what they had, which of course was not much. The slaves who worked in the fields would often go out and catch wild game for their family and close slave friends. The women would prepare cornmeal cakes, or pone cakes to go along with the game. The house slaves had it better than the field slaves; house slaves feasted on the leftovers from the "main house" after the slave-owners finished their meals.​

Black Americans faced many disadvantages during the 1950's. In short they were discriminated; from public services, to cafe's and restaurants. After the American Civil War in 1865, black people in the American south were no longer slaves. But they had never gained equality with whites. Blacks had remained second classed citizens throughout their movement to America, with the worst paid unskilled jobs in farms and factories.
The Long Walk to School
​
At the age of 9, Ruth loved school. She didn’t much care for the walk she had to make to get there every day, however, and didn’t really enjoy the chores that she and her sisters had to do each day as well.
Racial segregation was alive and well in those days and white Americans kept African Americans in a subordinate status by denying them equal access to public facilities, such as buses, theaters and restaurants.
When allowed into auditoriums and theaters, blacks occupied separate sections. They also attended segregated schools and churches, like Ruth and her family.
But this was how life was in 1933, at school, in the community and around the farm where she lived and played. Read her absorbing story here, to get a feel for what life was like in the United States not so very long ago.
Our New World

Find out what happens to Adom and his family, as they begin a perilous journey to this new world, where nothing will ever be the same again.
