This is the story of the African experience as a historical narrative told through a priestess in poetry. Visualize and follow the Ancestors' story from the community, through the middle passage and plantation slavery, and to freedom. Take a peep into the present and future of Africa and the diaspora through the eyes of the Ancestors. 'The Ancestors Spoke' is a great companion book for African and American history students, a valuable gift for friends and loved ones and an excellent poetry performance script with Afro-American music.
