The Grimkes : the legacy of slavery in an American family

Greenidge, Kerri K. (author.).

Summary: "Sarah and Angelina Grimke -- the Grimke sisters -- are revered figures in American history, famous for rejecting their privileged lives on a plantation in South Carolina to become firebrand activists in the North.
