A review by gossamer_lens
A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James Madison by Paul Jennings

informative reflective fast-paced

4.5

The narrative of Jennings was informative and full of emotion. The ending where a short few paragraphs of historical context was provided was gut punching. The way slavery worked is just so twisted, brutal, and such a twisting of the natural spirit of man and truth. The book is short enough, it can speak for yourself. Everyone should read narratives from actual peoples lives like this. I would recommend this particular edition so you get that punch of historical context as well.
