Freedom's school

Lizzie and her brother Paul go to school for the first time after slavery for their parents is ended. It's an incredible experience for the two and for the others who join them. But, though slavery has ended, the obstacles to receiving an education and finding the freedom that comes with that education continue.

I've never thought about what it must have been like for people who are struggling to make new lives for themselves after slavery has been abolished. This story takes you right into the day-to-day problems people faced from those who didn't want all to get an education, those who didn't want all to be free.
