This new eBook is placed under the category of fiction, even so, it provides a history in American slavery that is realized by many but not known by most. Motumbo, The Slave, That Was Never Sold, by Cassandra Brown, follows an African royal from the shores of Africa to the shores of America, while battling fierce weather in the Atlantic Ocean.
Motumbo’s wide grin and pleasing personality affords him luxuries the other slaves never experience. His eagerness to comfort those around him and his inner sense of calmness helps the slave traders to arrive safely in America. Motumbo makes the journey by choice and lives with his previous decision to learn more about the colorless men who came to his village.
It’s a story African Americans have known for years. A light-hearted story occurring in the midst of darkness will warm your heart and provide historical insights on the origin of the slave traders. |
