SYNOPSIS:
"It does a man no good to be free until
he learns how to live."
These were the words
of Amos Fortune, born the son of a king in the At-mun-shi tribe in Africa. When
Amos was only fifteen years old, he was captured by slave traders and brought
to Massachusetts, where he was sold at auction. Although his freedom had been
taken, Amos never lost his dignity and courage. He dreamed of being free, and
of buying the freedom of his closest friends. By the time he was sixty years old,
Amos Fortune began to see those dreams come true.
