Decades later, Ashley's granddaughter, Ruth, embroidered this history on the bag--including Rose's message that "It be filled with my Love always." Historian Tiya Miles carefully follows faint archival traces back to Charleston to find Rose in the kitchen where she may have packed the sack for Ashley. From Rose's last resourceful gift to her daughter, Miles then follows the paths their lives and the lives of so many like them took to write a unique, innovative history of the lived experience of slavery in the United States... As she follows Ashley's journey, Miles metaphorically "unpacks" the sack, deepening its emotional resonance and revealing the meanings and significance of everything it contained"-- $c From the publisher's description. 586 $a National Book Award winner, 2021 941 $a 2 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206010401.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20230706010229.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6A9B423A1BC211EE8D6367BB4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
