There is nothing like finding a good book that you feel you can relate to through the characters and their experiences. That is why it is so important for students to see themselves in stories that they read. When students see themselves in stories they are able to radically re-imagine their futures but also the world. This project was created with the hopes of exposing my African American literature students to the amazing work of more Black women writers, as well as supporting them in understanding the slave narratives that we will be exploring within this project. The book will support students understand the different dynamics of the lives of those who were enslaved but will also give them a lens to the multiple ways Black Americans survived the degradation and oppression they were being forced to endure. Most importantly, this project will demonstrate to my students not only the miracle of Black people's survival but also their ability to still love, create, and strive for justice and equality not just for Black people but other non-Black people as well. This literature will allow students to see Black American’s becoming what Nicole Hannah Jones states as the “true perfecters of democracy” and begin what scholars define as the Black radical tradition.
