Slave Time Midnight Howard Potts Books Reviews
Great read
As the plot builds the stories are more and more intriguing. Great read!
I didn't like the way it ended early.
Was spellbound reading Slave Time Midnight. The stories were woven together seamlessly and transported me back in time to experience the horrors of American slavery and life in the old south. A book everyone should read.
Tom Smart hit the jackpot when he was directed to Old Sam. Old Sam is Sam Worthington. He is a former slave with a fantastic memory and known in the area as a storyteller. Tom Smart is an interviewer in this new book by Howard Potts. Tom was raised in the North and he has been sent to Georgia and Alabama to interview former slaves. Tom thought his calling was to interview congressmen, senators, and presidents but this was the depression period of the 1930s. Tom had to settle for this job interviewing elderly black people in the Deep South as part of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration's plan. Some of the former slaves were too old to recall some events and some were reluctant to talk about family stories with a stranger. Why would they want to be interviewed by a Yankee and a
federal man such as Tom?
This book was inspired by real life slave stories as told to interviewers involved in the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Project
Administration in the 1930s.
Old Sam shares the good, the bad and the ugly with Tom. He had some good memories, not of slavery, but of growing up as a child oblivious to the harsh reality of slavery. I liked the Adam and Eve story that Old Sam heard as a child and retold to Tom. The chapters on
New Invention, Till Death Do Us Part, New Orleans covered some of the ugly. I enjoyed reading about Pet Snakes & Gators story and Sam's meeting with Madame Laveau.
For me the stories got more and more interesting as I read on. I look forward to the follow up book in the Slave Time series.
Great story telling
