Day of Tears by Julius Lester
5.0
An historical fiction account of “The Weeping Time”.
March 2nd and 3rd 1859 Pierce Butler sends approximately 429 of his slaves to auction . He profits roughly $300,000 to offset his gambling debts.
This story is heart wrenching .
Lester has done a magnificent job at recreating an event that even had God weeping.
