Review: Unheard Voices by Malorie Blackman.

This is a book of different stories and poems of people who were in held in slavery many years ago. It was well written and organized to show that slavery is an inhuman trade in history to capture the misery and suffering of those who could not escape injustice. Malorie Blackman gathered together riveting stories and first hand recollections on the theme of slavery.

Among the collections gathered were people like John Agard, Olaudah Equiano, Alex Haley, Benjamin Zephaniah and one of the works appears alongside is an original story that was foreword from Malorie herself. The stories are from the early 1800’s to the end of that century. The stories capture the lives of the slaves through the seizing of the people, the transporting, the trading, the punishments, the hunger, the sexual abuse, and the terrible horror of separating family members especially the mothers who had their children taken away at an early age to sell at the markets and never to be seen again.

This was an inspiring stimulating book of stories and poems of the past, forever to be told with honor to these people and reminding the readers to look forward to our future, because changes and events are happening in all Countries now. We need to move forward in which all people of the world may live together in Freedom……
