When she was eighteen, she stood trial for being born of a mixed-race couple. Although Fortune was free, English settlers were starting to build the framework that would enslave more than four million people of African descent. Fortune bore the brunt of the nation's first race, gender, and citizenship laws and was sentenced to indentured servitude. Under the law, her daughters became indentured servants as well. Drawing on her lifelong journey to know her family's history, leading Christian activist Lisa Sharon Harper weaves a captivating story that begins with Maudlin Magee, Sambo Game, and their child, Fortune, Harper's first nonindigenous ancestor born on American soil, and progresses through eight succeeding generations. Harper shows how American ideas, customs, and laws robbed her ancestors--and the ancestors of so many others--of their humanity and the opportunity to flourish. America was built upon systems and structures that blessed some and cursed others, allowing Americans of European descent to benefit from the colonization, genocide, enslavement, rape, and exploitation of people of color. As Harper lights a path through national and religious history, she clarifies exactly how and when the world broke and shows the way to redemption for us all. The book culminates with a powerful and compelling vision of truth telling, reparation, and forgiveness that leads to Beloved Community"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 277.3083 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 277.3083 Harper Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 277.3083 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
