I recommend taking the Harriet Jacob's tour in Edenton NC after reading the book. It is a beautiful town. During your visit you can also learn about Josephine Napoleon Leary.
After reading that amazing book, I never forgot the author stating: “Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more terrible for women” and her saying that she'd rather her children be starving paupers in Ireland than to be the most favored slaves in the USA. (paraphrasing)
That's why Oprah's character in BELOVED killed her children. It's truly amazing what our ancestors went though and gives me strength in hard times.... along with GOD of course. It's finally a law in some states that I get to where my natural 4c hair. 😇
I've taught her narrative and some of her history in my American Lit 1 class for almost ten years; thanks to Norton, I first learned about this incredible captivity narrative.
Her narrative flow. not too flowery, and straight to the point. A classic masterpiece of how a memoir should be written. All of the women who have written or told their stories are true American heroines. They speak to us when just before we start to forget. They remind us of what they went through. And how amazing it is to be living today.
Professor Karen you are too amazing and you are a Rabbi. The more you teach me, the more toxic theology comes up and out of me. I love how it was deconstructed what head over the house really means and how women are groomed from religion how men are suppose to have agency over them. Thank you Professor Karen.
How interesting. What our ancestors endured is unimaginable to me and my 2023 brain. History and knowing who we are born from and framed by is so important
She’s actually indigenous. Jacobs is one of the last names from the Lumbee tribe. I’m from there also my daughter is a Jacobs and her great grandfather was the chief of one of the reservation in Raeford. A lot of Lumbee heritage has African and white ancestry but it’s no mistaken that name, she’s a Lumbee.
The world didn't know that the pandemic would help get OUR HISTORY out to the masses. 😂 Thank you Pro Hunter. There is ALWAYS a silver lining in our struggles. Anne Frank reminds me of Sis. Jacobs on the power of writing. I can't wait for her updated book to come out in June 2023! And to the big screen. Maybe this will get an Oscar.....🤫 Will Smith's movie EMANCIPATION was awesome to me.
@@KarenHunterShow thanks, in the meantime I did some searching and found out she is Professor Koritha Mitchell, and was able to pre-order the edition of the Harriet Jacobs book.
Harriet Jacob’s was not an African American. In her book she never once described herself or her people as being brought here from Africa . From reading the book most references refer to the blacks already being here
So much of our history I didn't know until the Karen Hunter show and Knarrative. So grateful for these spaces.
That makes two of us!!
Thank You for providing a platform for truthful, informative, historical people of color, credit, or knowledge.
Wow never heard of her but thankful for Karen and my Sister. Harriet Jacobs. The Life of A Slave Girl. A must Read.
Discovered Harriet’s story several years ago and stayed up all night reading her narrative. I couldn’t put it down.
Same for me about 9 years ago. Read the whole book in bout 3 days flat
Thank you Harriet Jacobs. Thank you.

I read this in the late 70's. It was on our high school reading list.
Back in 1993 I wrote my thesis on Harriet Jacobs
I MAY BE OLD IN MY 70'S YET YOU HELPING ME LEARN. KEEP TEACHING SO WE CAN KEEP LEARNING.
STILL I RAISE. WOW IT FEELS GREAT 👍😃
I've taught her narrative and some of her history in my American Lit 1 class for almost ten years; thanks to Norton, I first learned about this incredible captivity narrative.
After I read this book, I wondered why I had to read about Anne Frankin school and not about Ms. Jacobs
Her narrative flow. not too flowery, and straight to the point. A classic masterpiece of how a memoir should be written. All of the women who have written or told their stories are true American heroines. They speak to us when just before we start to forget. They remind us of what they went through.

I have this audio book. People like her are the real american hero's.
THANK Y'ALL.
BI CODED. BLACK MATTER LIVES FOREVER NEVER DIES.

I was fortunate to read this in college. Can't wait to see the new edition!

Wow, I have to get this book especially now where random social media talking heads are spewing nonsense about slavery was not THAT bad.
We need more discussions like this!
We need a whole three hour session. I think this micro lesson is great but I wanna know more and the implications for the future.❤❤❤❤❤

I knew about her, she was smart in dealing with her life.
Maybe it's just me. Should we continue to use the term Master when referring to enslavers?
nope. We should not. Thank you.
My god letters from a crawl space in the attic during times of enslavement! 🤯
Thanks again Karen 👍 InezArnetta 🌹
