Thanksgiving On Our Plantation: The Same Ole Food, We Call Soul Food

Tomas, a young 11-year old boy born on Mr. Jones plantation that was full of adventure. It was during the Thanksgiving holidays and he really enjoy spending time with family and plantation friends. Read this wonderful book to see how a typical Thanksgiving was for Tomas, his family, and friends.Africans took time to be thankful for what they had, which of course was not much. The slaves who worked in the fields would often go out and catch wild game for their family and close slave friends. The women would prepare cornmeal cakes, or pone cakes to go along with the game. The house slaves had it better than the field slaves; house slaves feasted on the leftovers from the "main house" after the slave-owners finished their meals.
