FREED FROM SLAVERY BUT STILL IN BONDAGE

In this book Freed From Slavery but still in bondage written by Alice Faye Wimberly tells of how she witnessed the two great social movements of the late half of the twentieth century the civil right and feminism.

Born into a large sharecropper family in the rural South, the author went from being a child laborer in the cotton ﬁeld, forced to stay out of school to help work on the farms. She went back to school when it was conveniently determined to get an education, eventually becoming a consultant in the college she attended. Keep in mind in those days in the 1940s and the 1950s, the author vividly depicts the life of a young black girl born in the south when she says you wouldn't have known that slavery had ended because of what she endured that still exists in civil rights. Here is an inspiring true story of how freedom is attained from economic and social oppression it is not just given to us but earned.

The book is so informative about the things that happened in the past. I loved how the book is so
factual just like my grandmother taught us. She always says how hard life was before and we should
thankful for the liberty and support from the government. I loved this book and given that it was
happening in the past though right now this might still exist in other places. It was worth the time.
