“To My Old Master”
Sometimes you find a historical record that just leaves you speechless. Ed Cardinal shared a link with me this week that took me to one such record. It’s posted on a website called Letters of Note: Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience. The document is a letter written by a former slave to his master in response to a request from said master to return to work for him. As we mark the start of Black History Month, this find is particularly timely and I’m going to let it speak for itself. You really want to read this entire letter. And thanks to Ed for sharing it with us! Click here to read “To My Old Master” on Letters of Note.
