Season Tramps

Two Steps Away from Slavery

This is a story that tells the struggles and obstacles of a migrant black family during a time when our history and heritage and legacy were in question. It talks about my travels up and down the road, living on old farm plantations and deserted slave camps while performing the same jobs our forefathers were enslaved to perform. I felt that we were like free slaves moving from one farm to another, working jobs for little pay from farmers who needed help gathering their crops and taking them to the market. As we moved from the south to the north as the seasons changed, many true stories unfolded that are told in this book.
