How the Word Is Passed

There is no doubt that this book is an award-winning thing because it has so much linked to the dark history which has not been discussed in the past. Not a lot of people discuss things about slavery because it has become a thing of the past now but the author Clint Smith thinks that history should not be concealed from the new generation. The author has narrated it too so that the importance of the book can be highlighted. In the past, if the books were written on the issue of slavery then they were only focused on one or two characters.

Thus the books never talked about the entire society of slaves who were facing the same kind of situation all the way. The book has multiple characters like Thomas Jefferson who used to write letters about slavery so that the people of the world give importance to this issue. At Angola, there was a prison in which black people were kept. So the slaves were being treated like animals and they didn’t have any kind of rights of their own.

Finally, the book paints the picture of Blandford Cemetery where ten thousand Confederate soldiers were buried. These things are important for those who have some information about history but even if anyone does not know about history, this book will provide the exact and correct information to him. Above Ground and Counting Descent are the titles which will come to your mind after finishing this book in a quick time. These books make us aware of the things that have happened in our world and we can make sure that it does not happen again.
