Excerpt from Twenty-Two Years a Slave, and Forty Years a Freeman: Embracing a Correspondence of Several Years, While President if Wilberforce Golony, London, Canada West The author claims that he has endeavored since he had his freedom, as much as in him lay, to benefit his suffering fellows in bondage; and that he has spent most of his free life in efforts to elevate them in manners and morals, though against all the opposing forces of prejudice and pride, which of course, has made much of his labor vain.
