From Slavery to Bravery Debra Christian

From Slavery to Bravery is a broad glance at the saga of the Christian family as they evolve from a place of slavery to a place of freedom. The text and pictures uncover the chronicles of a slave, named B. C. Christian, who transitioned from South Carolina to Texas. He came as a slave, obtained his freedom, purchased 80 acres of land, and became an accomplished businessman in the area. He partnered with a pastor and founded Shiloh Baptist Church, which is still in existence today. This book profoundly expresses the transition from being classified as an individual's property to being an adept contributor to society. Mr. Christian's support of community spoke volumes and gave hope to other freed slaves. It will encourage the expansion of international coalitions against slavery, injustices of blacks in America, and the need for community. Get a glimpse of slavery and success through one man's life as it affected one region from before the American Civil War to the present.
