Impeccably researched and beautifully written, Jubilee tells a story of the Antebellum South, the Civil War, and Reconstruction from the black perspective. The excerpts include harrowing scenes from Vyry's childhood, such as the "Fourth of July Celebration" where slaves from Vyry's plantation are forced to watch a public hanging of 2 slave women. In addition to Jubilee, Margaret Walker is author of a biography of Richard Wright, a collection of essays, and 5 volumes of poetry.
