Divya Manian finished reading Freedom Ship by Marcus Rediker
Excellent excellent book about how Enslaved people fought their way to freedom while gathering allies among white people to their cause. An interesting parallel I see is that the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 kinda hastened the Civil War because the white public was NOT HAVING IT. The politicians, rich people & police of course sided with the enslavers. I am noticing a parallel to what is occurring today.
