Description
Charles Thompson gives us a compelling account of his life as a young man in shackles, “owned” by a series of brutal rich white men. Charles’ powerful mind manages to learn how to read and write, despite the Big Bosses’ threats of whips. It’s not all bad and some joy is gained by this remarkable “colored” man who has a sharp, critical mind watching and judging, knowing “This cannot last.”
