EXCEPTIONAL MAN

It's one thing to sail off to freedom with other slaves on a ship stolen from the Confederate navy, its quite another to be an elected congressman during Reconstruction.
Both require bravery.

I love learning

Thank you for this wonderful lesson. It is 3:00 in the morning and I should be sleeping but I had to finish reading about Mr Smalls
