There Was Once a Slave...

Part One The Lightning

Is this a Thing, or Can it Be a Man?

Jobs in Washington and Voting in Rhode Island

On Two Sides of the Atlantic

A Light Is Set on the Road

Part Two The Storm

The Storm Came up in the West and Birds Flew North

An Avenging Angel Brings the Fury of the Storm

“Give Them Arms, Mr. Lincoln!”

Came January 1, 1863

Part Three Toward Morning

When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed

Moving Forward

Fourscore Years Ago in Washington

“If Slavery Could Not Kill Us, Liberty Won’t”

Indian Summer and a Fair Harvest

The Môle St. Nicolas
