Our Current Book
BARRACOON
By Zora Neale Hurston
In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis. Of the millions of enslaved people stolen from Africa to America, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation’s history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo’s firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage fifty years after enslaving people was outlawed in the United States. Barracoon illustrates the horrific tragedy of slavery and how one’s life is forever impacted by it.
