Harriet Jacobs November 20, 2010

'Harriet Jacobs' is adapted from 'Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl,' one of the most important books in the history of the Abolitionist Movement. After nearly seven years hiding in a tiny garret above her grandmother's home, Harriet Ann Jacobs secretly boarded a boat and escaped to New York and, eventually, freedom. This young slave woman's remarkable story tells of triumph over the most horrible oppression in history.
