Reseña del editor

What would it take for slaves to escape from slavery in the Deep South, 1,000 miles from freedom and then on to England during the period of the Fugitive Slave Act? For Most slaves the thought of escape was unimaginable. But fear did not stop Ellen and William Craft from choosing freedom.

An inspiring and riveting story of two amazing people stopping at nothing to fight for freedom and racial equality. This thrilling true tale chronicles Ellen and William Craft's lives from their fight from slavery in Georgia to their rise to world-wide fame as heroes of the Abolitionist movement. Illustrated with period artwork, newspaper clippings, and archival photographs , 5,000 miles to freedom captures the unforgiving realities of slave life, the political hatred between North and South, and, above all, the extrordinary achivements of this remarkable couple. National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.
