Focusing on the journey of self-education among African Americans, the book explores their pursuit of literacy from the era of slavery through the Civil War and into the early years of freedom. It highlights the deep-rooted desire for education among enslaved individuals and how this aspiration transformed into concrete efforts for learning once emancipation was achieved. The narrative uncovers the historical context and personal stories that illustrate the significance of literacy in the quest for autonomy and empowerment.
