During the slave era in America black people lived differently from the white
people around them. The sisters demonstrate how their enslaved ancestors
survived from day to day. They were property ... owned and controlled by another
person. Even their sleeping hours were limited. You will see how and what they
ate, how they dressed, how they worked, what the housing conditions were
like and the value of "the old black pot".
What about the children born to the enslaved? Whose property were they?
Did slaves ever experience joy?
They saw and heard what freedom was like and were willing to risk their lives to
obtain it. How could they plan an escape without the "massa"
finding out?
Quilts and songs often had hidden messages or double meanings in them.
"The Sisters" are anxious to share the story of our ancestors in
"A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SLAVE"
