Special release for Black History Month “Am I Not a Man? - The Dred Scott Story" by Attorney General Mark Shurtleff breathes new life into the famous case that defined our nation’s stance on racism.
This historical novel illustrates the heart-rending true story of Dred Scott, a freed slave forced back into bondage, and his struggle to regain liberty. Scott’s personal story is one of national importance, as the case of Scott vs. Sanford became Abraham Lincoln’s presidential platform and served as a key reference in our nation’s Emancipation Proclamation. Scott’s trials in making the rights of a black man the rights of all Americans are as touching as they are true, in this moving account of Dred's fight for freedom.
A perfect topic for Black History Month.
Prosaic and insightful, Mark Shurtleff chronicles Dred’s journey from its humble beginnings to its earth-quaking conclusion, solidifying Scott as one of the 18th century’s most dynamic and powerful figures in the Abolitionist movement. This is a perfect topic for Black history Month in the United States.
