Black History Month & Juneteenth
We must inform our young citizens about America's past & how injustice was defeated
📚 A Call to Action for Parents, Educators, and Librarians 📚
In a time when critical Black history is under threat of erasure, especially as we approach Black History Month, we must stand together to preserve the stories that shaped our nation and our future. Seeking Freedom: The Untold Story of Fortress Monroe and the Ending of Slavery in America is more than just a history book—it is a vital, timely reminder of the heroes whose courage changed the course of history.
This nonfiction children's book tells the dramatic story of George Scott, a courageous enslaved man who teamed with a Union general to protect a Union fort and, in doing so, triggered the end of slavery in the United States. It’s the first-ever children’s nonfiction book about this unsung hero—and his story is as relevant today as ever, especially in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In 1861, on the night Virginia seceded from the Union, three enslaved men risked everything to escape the horrors of slavery. They found sanctuary at Fortress Monroe, where the Union army’s commander, General Benjamin Butler, declared them "contraband of war." This act of defiance would not only save lives but ultimately inspire President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
This is the untold story of how ordinary people fought back against injustice—and how their bravery led to extraordinary change.
📖 To parents, educators, and librarians: Seeking Freedom is a must-read, especially during Black History Month and as we celebrate Juneteenth. Now more than ever, we need to teach young people the full, unvarnished truth about our nation's history. The voices of those who fought for freedom—like George Scott—are voices we must amplify.
🖤 Let’s make sure these important Black History figures are not erased. Let’s ensure the heroes of our past are never forgotten.
