520 1 $a"Making Freedom is the first in-depth exploration of the life of Venture Smith, circa 1728-1805, a New England slave who was sold into bondage as a boy in Africa and labored for a quarter-century before purchasing his own freedom and transforming himself into a highly respected American citizen. Drawing on years of research and documentation, including Venture Smith's personal autobiography, Saint and Krimsky vividly recount the extraordinary challenges he overcame. They cast a rare light on what it was like to be an African American in the North during the Colonial era. This story's relevance today prompted the BBC to produce a documentary and launched an international effort to learn more about Venture Smith, his life and legacy, which includes his proud descendants. This book contains a wealth of illustrations, a time line, and Smith's original 1798 Narrative in facsimile form."--BOOK JACKET.
