Umm...yes? Many slaves learned how to read, although they had to keep it a secret from their masters. Most slaves learned to read from fellow slaves, or from freemen (the word used for all free black people at the time) or from white sympathizers and preachers - the Bible most often being the source material. Thanks for tuning in Marcel! Can you see the banner now? Tryin to fix it but I am so old school...ugg

Yep! The banner now shows up fine. Looks good too!

Thanks Marcel!

I tried to post a reply but it seems to not be showing. At the risk of repeating myself, Yep! it now shows up fine. Looks good, too!
