For Ms. Patterson



"Hello, my name is Ayo! Today, I want to tell you a story that goes way back to the land of my great-great-grandparents. They lived in Africa, a land filled with joyful music, wise elders, and families who loved each other. My ancestors had their own towns, where people shared food, stories, and laughter. They were leaders, artists, scientists, and heroes!


"But one day, everything changed. Ships arrived from faraway places and took many people from their homes. This was called slavery. People like my great-great-grandparents were forced onto big ships, crammed in like they were not people at all. They were taken across the ocean to places far away, where they were made to work without pay, without rest, and without freedom."




"Living through slavery was very hard. Many families were separated, and people had to work long hours in fields and homes, treated in ways that were unfair and painful. But even during those sad times, people stayed strong. They sang songs of hope and whispered stories of freedom, passing down strength to one another."
"Some brave people decided to find a way to freedom, to escape the unfair treatment. They traveled secretly through forests and fields, sometimes by boat, sometimes hiding in wagons, and even in hidden spots like suitcases! They used the stars to guide their way at night. This journey became known as the Underground Railroad, though it wasn’t a real railroad."

"The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe places where freedom seekers could rest. Courageous people, called conductors, helped guide them. One of the most famous conductors was Harriet Tubman, a woman who helped hundreds of people find freedom. She was so brave that people called her ‘Moses’ because, like in the Bible, she led her people to safety."
