Description
This illustrated historical chapter book introduces young readers to some of the very first African Americans, who came to American in the early seventeenth century. In 1619, twenty Africans stepped foot on American soil as indentured servants. They came with dreams of the future, knowing if they could hold on and finish out their sentences, they would be free. Who were they, how did they get here, and did their lives go the way they imagined? Details of their stories have been lost over time but what remains is an important piece of American history.
