In this extraordinary collection, Charlotte Jefferies and her father Price, a former slave, introduce us to twelve best loved Bible tales, from Genesis to Daniel, and reveal their significance in the lives of African Americans - and indeed of all oppressed peoples. With exquisite clarity, Patricia and Frederick McKissack and James Ransome - a Newberry Honor winner and all Coretta Scott King Award winners - brilliantly illuminate the parallels between the stories of the Jews and African American history. Let My People Go is a triumphant celebration of both the human spirit and the enduring power of story as a source of strength. Recommended for all ages.
