freedom finally

I finally made it. It was a little hard but I made it. I got caught but I finally just ran away from the cart and ran to Canada. I now have a job in St. Catherines and I have place to stay. My friend Ju Lilly came awhile later with Liza to live with me.

keeping strong

I dont know what to do. Should I run or should I hide. Maybey I should accept that being on these chains is my punishment for my skin colour. I keep on thinking to myself that everything will be alright as long as I survive on these chains. If I can survive on these chains which are cutting into my skin then I can do anything

bravery

I am Lester and I am a brave soul. The hardest part of my life is slavery. It isn't fun. I am mentally strong and also physiclly strong. The hardest thing I have ever done was walking while chained to a cart. It cut my ankles and it was bleeding. I really want to escape but I don't think I can.
