About the author

Henry Clay Bruce

1836–1902

Born into slavery in Virginia and later living in Missouri and Kansas, this memoirist told his own life story with unusual clarity and force. His 1895 autobiography follows a life shaped by bondage, freedom, public service, and a hard-won sense of dignity.
