Specificatii
Merging comprehensive research and grand storytelling, Mr. and Mrs.
Prince reveals the true story of a remarkable pre-Civil War
African-American family, as well as the challenges that faced
African-Americans who lived in the North versus the slaves who
lived in the South. Lucy Terry, a devoted wife and mother, was the
first known African-American poet and Abijah Prince, her husband,
was a veteran of the French and Indian wars and an entrepreneur.
Together they pursued what would become the cornerstone of the
American dream--having a family and owning property where they
could live, grow, and prosper. Owning land in both Vermont and
Massachusetts, they were well on their way to settling in when
bigoted neighbors tried to run them off. Rather than fleeing, they
asserted their rights, as they would do many times, in court. Here
is a story that not only demonstrates the contours of slavery in
New England but also unravels the most complete history of a
pre-Civil War black family known to exist. Illuminating and
inspiring, Mr. and Mrs. Prince uncovers the lives of those who
could have been forgotten and brings to light a history that has
intrigued but eluded many until now.
