內容簡介: |
"It does a man no good to be free until he learns how to
live."
These were the words of Amos Fortune, born the son of a king of
the At-mun-shi tribe in Africa. When Amos was only fifteen years
old, he was captured by slave traders and brought to Massachusetts,
where he was sold at auction. Although his freedom had been taken,
Amos never lost his dignity and courage. He dreamed of being free
and of buying the freedom of his closest friends. By the time he
was sixty years old, Amos Fortune began to see those dreams come
true. Amos Fortune, Free Man is a Newbery Award winner that is
based on a true story.
