    About this ebook

    It is extremely difficult to open a discussion on race, even today in America, with the election of an Afro-American President. I cannot and thus, will not try. However, through my poetry here in Legacy of an Ex-slave, I will express my views on matters of race.
    Slavery is a topic that is difficult to talk about, but out of the due respect for those for who were enslaved, we must!
