An Example

 After the introduction and first chapter, which establish context, the book will present a series of short sections based on individual papers (written by black schoolteachers about formerly enslaved people). Here's a sample of one of those sections. It tells the story of Florence Bailey, enslaved in Morehouse Parish.

    Also, I’m reading on my phone, which makes it difficult to appreciate graphics. Do you expect folks to read on phones, computers, books? That may affect how people view your graphics. I don’t feel I can comment on them cuz hard to see in phone.

    Rachel, I'm hoping to find a publisher who'll put it out as a book.

Revised Chapter 1 / Introduction

Here is a draft of the introduction of "True Facts of This Drastic Period: Louisiana Slavery Narratives." The details of the project I'm working are hard to explain in a short "elevator pitch," and I hope this introduction lays it out clearly. I welcome your feedback and suggestions. What words or images do or do not work? What seems to be left out? Where does the story need more or less detail? How can I present this subject with greater sensitivity and respect? Post a comment here and let me know what you think (or email/message me). To access a PDF of the document, use this link .

It occurred to me that it may be easier to view the draft as a PDF, and so I'm simply providing this link .
