Description
Hattie Jacobs has a secret dream: to go to school to become a teacher.
But her parents were formerly enslaved and are struggling to survive in Nashville, Tennessee, after Reconstruction.
When the Jacobs family joins the Great Exodus of 1879 to Kansas, their journey in search of a better life is filled with danger and hardship.
Will they make it to the Mississippi River unharmed?
What will be waiting for them in Kansas, and will it live up to their dreams?
It's the storytellers who preserve a nation's history.
But what happens when some stories are silenced? The I Am America series features fictional stories based on important historical events from people whose voices have been underrepresented, lost, or forgotten over time.
