Book Description
Slavery in Southeastern Kentucky: A Buried History, uncovers and substantiates the history of enslavement in nine counties: Breathitt, Clay, Floyd, Harlan, Magoffin, Perry, Pike and Wolfe. Today, the average African American population in these counties is less than 2%. The veil of secrecy and denial regarding slavery in this area lifts, and we begin to see and know the slaves who were held in bondage until the Civil War emancipated them.
