A girl defies the law by secretly learning to read and write. A future abolitionist regains his will to live by fighting off his captor with his bare hands: \"I will not let you use me like a brute any longer,\" Frederick Douglass vows. Drawing from authentic accounts, here is a chronology of resistance in all its forms: comical trickster tales about outwitting \"Old Marsa\"; secret \"hush harbors\" where Africans instill Christian worship with their own rituals; and spirituals such as \"Go Down Moses,\" whose coded lyrics signal not just hope for deliverance, but an active call to escape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoldly illustrated with extraordinary oil paintings by award-winning artist Shane W.
