Hi! My name is Lou. I am a slave and I am as dark as a slave can be. I am 6 ft. tall and 16 years old. I work on a plantation in Alabama with my momma. We cut wood all day long. It's a hard job and we never get any thanks or praise. I don't get paid and I don't even get a real blanket. It gets real cold some nights. My momma and I are gonna make our way to freedom and this is our story.
