Publisher's Note: One of the most important events in our history is the end of slavery in the United States. But there is not one single day when all the slaves were freed. These are the Days of Jubilee. 'Slaves didn't care about documents and proclamations. They responded to real and present results. Whenever they learned they were free, that day became their Jubilee.' In this spirit-stirring journey through history, illustrated with stunning black-and-white photographs, Patricia and Frederick McKissack draw from slave narratives, letters, diaries to document the days, weeks, and years leading to freedom. History books have told only a small part of this story. In an inspiring account for middle-grade readers, the award-winning McKissacks passionately set the record straight.
