The Stockwell Letters by Jacqueline Friedland
It is the Nineteenth Century. The key words heard are enslavement and freedom. Probably, 'freedom' is spoken in a lower voice or whispered. A name well known to us now, Anthony Burns, will gain his freedom in a very strange way. Frankly, I am surprised he did not lose his wits.The battle lines are drawn in halls like Faneuil Hall. It is a rambunctious cry for slavery while others cry out for freedom. Surely, the slave and the freedman are the ones deserving justice. It is a precarious position.
