""...and Remember that I Am a Man."": The Life of Moses Grandy

$19.20
 
AND REMEMBER THAT I AM A MAN is the story of a man who fights his enslavement with dignity rather than stoicism, with reason instead of violence, and with trust in God rather than skepticism toward man. Based upon the NARRATIVE OF THE LIFE OF MOSES GRANDY, published in 1843, it chronicles the life of a man who struggled for freedom in the Great Dismal Swamp region of North Carolina during the early nineteenth century. The title is a Frederick Douglass quote: "Sometimes I forget the color of my skin and remember that I am a man. Sometimes I forget that I am hated of man and remember that I am loved of God." In the late 1700's, the child Moses, playmate of the master's son, sees his mother tied to a peach tree and whipped. As a young man, he suffers under a series of cruel masters, which forges his character and his faith in God. In adulthood, his wife and children are sold away and he is twice tricked out of money he has earned to buy his freedom. His travails, which uncannily parallel those of the Biblical Moses, are a shining example of what can be accomplished through faith and perseverance.
