Darkness never saw herself as a slave girl. She wanted more in life. She wanted what 'the white folk gots." When she accidentally tears Miss Abigail's grandmother's tablecloth that came "all the way from England," Abigail demands that her husband punish the twelve-year-old girl with a whipping. Marse Thomas finds it difficult to do. In the end, Darkness angrily leaves the farm, without plans, and without any knowledge of the ways of the outside world. Her two-week 'vacation' from slavery gives her more than she bargained for. The Darkness Saga is the brainchild of Jeff Nebeker-Johnson. The series is designed to teach the true hardships behind slavery, rather than the rhetoric of the modern world. The author has read thousands of slave narratives and histories and has performed the genealogy for over 10,000 slaves and freemen. Racism will one day be defeated through education and understanding.
