Title: Good for teachers
Review: It may sound juvenile, but I read this book to my eleventh grade English students as part of a lesson over music and song in the slave community, which The Narrative in the Life of a Slave by Frederick Douglass discusses in detail. We listen to this song, and they try to decode what it is about. I read this book to them to "crack the code." I like how it personalizes he story to be about specific people. The songs itself has been changed over the years, and the legends about it have grown, so this is a good book for the classroom.
