Dr. Flint had sworn that he would make me suffer, to my last day, for this new crime against him, as he called it; and as long as he had me in his power he kept his word.
From Harriet Ann Jacobs
The slave girl is reared in an atmosphere of licentiousness and fear.
DURING the first years of my service in Dr. Flint's family, I was accustomed to share some indulgences with the children of my mistress.
Always it gave me a pang that my children had no lawful claim to a name.
