Additional Curriculum/Series Information
Ben, a young slave, uses every chance he gets to teach himself to read. On errands around Charleston for the tailor he is apprenticed to, he practices reading the words he sees on street signs and in shop windows and even in cast-off newspapers he finds in the gutters.
But after the Civil War breaks out, his employer leaves town and Ben finds himself in a slave prison. One night, the prisoners bribe a guard to get their hands on a newspaper, and to the applause of his fellow slaves, Ben reads aloud the momentous news of Mr. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation--surely one of the most remarkable readings of that document ever.
Based on the true story of Benjamin Holmes (who later enrolled in Fisk University and became a member of the Jubilee Singers), Pat Sherman's stirring text and the memorable illustrations of Coretta Scott King medalist Floyd Cooper pay tribute to the power of freedom--and to the power of the written word.
