Slave Cabins

Looking Back

The island's landscape has changed dramatically since the plantation era. Gone are the roofs, fruit trees, wells, and garden plots. Trees and grasses now replace fields once tilled by slaves.

To be a slave was to be a human being under conditions in which that humanity was denied. Their condition was slavery.

Julius Lester, 1968
