More about the book
The memoir offers a unique first-person perspective on a "freedom suit," detailing Lucy Ann Delaney's mother's legal struggles for emancipation in St. Louis. It highlights Polly Berry's determination and the support of influential figures like Edward Bates, who successfully argued for their freedom in 1844. As one of the few post-Emancipation slave narratives, it provides valuable insights into the fight against slavery and the pursuit of justice during a pivotal time in American history.
