Freed from Slavery: But Still in Bondage

In this book, Freed from Slavery but Still in Bondage, Alice Faye Wimberly tells of her witness to the two great social movements of the latter half of the twentieth century-the civil rights cause and feminism..Born into a large share-cropping family in the rural South, the author went from being a child laborer in the cotton fields, forced to drop out of school, to eventually becoming a consultant at the college where she is working on her doctorate. But of those early days in the 1940s and 1950s, the author vividly depicts the life of a young Black woman in the South, when as she says, "You wouldn't have known that slavery had ended."Here is an inspiring true story that demonstrates how real freedom is attained, from economic bondage and social oppression.
