media type="file" key="Jennifer P3.mp3" Have you ever wanted to kill anyone with your bare hands? Well I did. Hi my name is Jennifer Pereira I am a religious speaker and I was a slave in the 1800s. My experience of slavery wasn’t so good because I was treated poorly, I had no clothes except one and not that much food. Being a slave was the worst time of my life because I was captured when I was just a little kid. I had to work out in the farms and I had to pick up cotton and wheat to bring back to my owner. I Jennifer Pereira wasn’t happy with the decision of slavery in the south. I escaped slavery during the making of the Underground Railroad.

As a southerner I think that slavery should end because I know how slaves can be badly treated because I had to go thru it and it wasn’t pleasant at all. Slavery needs to end now!!! The treatment of slavery is vicious and violent because we got whipped if we did something wrong or we wouldn’t get food. Being a slave was tough because I got raped and molested by my own owner because he thought it would be fun. I had a child by him and I got my daughter token away because I couldn’t keep it because she was to become a slave by different owners. I felt hurt and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to see her again. I had to keep my life as a secret because if I said something I would have gotten killed but I kept my mouth shut.

Do you feel like being treated poorly?? Well I know that I don’t want to go thru it again so I am going to try to end slavery in the south because I don’t like the way that slaves are being treated. JOIN ME NOW AND HELP ME FIGHT FOR FREEDOM!!!! We need to stand up for what is right and help the slaves that are in the south. We all need to come together and work as a team and help end slavery. All slaves deserve equal rights as all white men and women have. WE NEED FREEDOM AND WE NEED IT NOW!!! We are all tired of being treated poorly so let’s take action for what we want. END SLAVERY NOW!!!!

media type="file" key="Jessica P3.mp3" As it rains today even God knows the suffering of these simple human beings, he cries for help and we are here to answer his suffering. I am the southerner's worst nightmare, and slaves dream. Would you even dare be a part of history in the making? Well I Betty Crocker is determined to abolish all violence pointed towards blacks. Now how do these double chocolate chip cookies taste? Are they rotten or looked as wrong just because they are different from these other plain cookies? I believe we are all in fault for not even noticing the suffering of these slaves. We must be educated and we must learn the harsh truth about what these slaves experience everyday. Every cookie you take is one fact that you gain about slavery, so be free to stick around and gain a sweet tooth for abolishing slavery.

So as you enjoy these pastries you will gain knowledge about what slavery actually is. Slavery is putting a name on someone, saying he or she is my property. These people are BOUGHT! Bought as if you are no better than a farm animal. Family is not even in there vocabulary, a sister? NO! A mother? NO! It is all men for himself, did you know that slave owner5s make slaves whip each other? They also show public display of violence. Imagine being stripped of all your clothing and with all your former slaves watching you have 37 slashes to the back,a nd guess what if only takes 40 slashes til death. You bleed and bleed for days, dirt seeping through your cuts, infection spreads throughout your back, flies and bugs start to chew away at something that was once skin. Well guess what you are now indeed an animal at least you start to look like a beast. They are not born as animals, but better yet become animals due to there everyday life.

Have you ever wanted to save a life? Well becoming a part of the abolition movement, you can. Why make a poor seven year old boy watch where he will eventually be when he is older. Please help bake poisonous cookies, and send them to the slave owners just to show that WE MEAN BUSINESS! And indeed we will get our word out. Bake cookies, save a life! Bake cookies, save a life! This is our motto. And we will live by this, I trust you people to become a part of history and change this gruesome, disgusting behavior that is being displayed. No longer am I Betty Crocker but I am BLOODY CROCKER! BAKE COOKIES, SAVE A LIFE!

media type="file" key="Branslie P3.mp3" Escaped slaves share their story with Malden High School!

Hello everybody, my name is Sakajawea. I am an escaped slave from the south. I would love to tell you my age but I don't know my own age...after I was born I was separated from ym parents, never had a chance to remember what my mother looked like. I was shipped to another plantation in the south. Each and every day I pray to god to help me get out of that situation...I asked him if my life was suppose to be living hell! I cry upon him screaming "WHY?! LORD! WHY?! WAS I BORN TO SUFFER?!" Then the lord answered my prayers in my dream...he told me to escape! For me to run! Run as fast I could away from the plantation...the following night I ran like never before! I met up with a woman they call Heriotte Tubman. She told me about the underground railroad to me she was like an angel...sent from heaven I had to crawl, hide, see innocent people die, see people that was trying to help sacrifice themselves. Oh thank you lord!

Slavery is horrible, terrifying! Hell on earth! And its people like me and you that are causing this to happen. We both have flesh and skin...under that white flesh is red blood...under my dark flesh is red blood...theres no difference! No need to torture your own kind like that! We are all the same! Getting beating to death for being a slave or dark isn't right! They starve you, take your love ones away from you and kill other slaves in public to put you down.

Please help us slaves. Slavery is wrong! Together we can help stop slavery for good. Together we can all be free! Please I beg of you lets help one another I'm sure when you go to heaven god will repay you!

media type="file" key="John P3.mp3" How many of you want to be controlled? We are on the verge to be controlled by slavery. How can we stop before it takes over? JOIN ME IN THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM! I am fighting for the liberation of every slave in the United States in the south. You should help free half of the country. Once it takes over the United States it will take all over the western part of the world. Once it happens there will be a "war of the world" east vs west.

Save lives, many lives. Do not save yourself, save slaves to the path of life. Many of you say that you saw LIVING HELL! I am telling you if you have not seen pain that slaves had taken. I been there. I have been to HELL AND BACK! YES, there is hell on Earth. Where? In the south. I have seen black slaves getting killed and to those that are lucky, pain dealt to their bodies. 75% of BLACKS ARE SLAVES! 25% are DEAD! The other 50% are still owned and brutally hurt metnally and physically.

Over 150 years slavery has taken its toll in America. Slavery is older then generations our founding fathers have been on this soil. I am a FREEDOM FIGHTER FOR SLAVERY, an abolitionist. I WILL NOT DIE UNTIL SLAVERY IS GONE FROMO UR COUNTRY!

I, Angelina Grimke believe that slavery should be banned from the North or even anywhere for any reaons. It's a shamed to see such human beings like us to work and work and work, until they have no more strength. Slavery is awful and is creulty to the human beings like us. We shouldn't own slaves for any reason at all. I shouldn't have to talk to a slave about how it is to be like one, because in disappointment I know how it feels to act as a slave and work as hard as one. Together we should make this world one and end slavery together under any circumstances, no one should disagree with this situation, all should agree. I'm not here to hand out food just to be nice and force anyone to help me end this war; I need your courage gained along with mine to help our slaves survive this. Everyone should be treated fairly and that's what the worlds about, freedoma nd peace. No more going through struggles and escaping or even hiding from misery. Slavery shouldn't exist in this world anymore no matter what.

As the newspapers are being passed around this society "the liberator" is the main solution to help fight this. Keep on reading until you finally makle your decision to help end this. The images you look at are such a pain to see, from broken legs to scars and bruises and brutal beatings, etc. I don't want to have to keep seeing slaves go through this and neither do you. It's incredible how slaves survived this then and now, and we should be thankful that they're still alive. So all I'm asking is for one another to please put their heads together and think real hard, ending this is the only way for slavery to be free and live a life they once lived before they even became slaves. Have them live the life of freedom.

 * || My name is shaniquo, I am and always will be a slave. I was born a slave and therefore I would have thought that I would have the same rights as every single person in this world. But I was wrong… After a few years I was secretly thought things that weren’t allowed, we weren’t allowed to be thought anything. If our owners found out that we were thought how to read and write, we would be punished and we could have been separated from the ones we loved. Our owners were very cruel, they didn’t care about us, they just cared if we worked or not. If we didn’t do our work then they would publicly beat us in front of our loved ones and others in the farm so they would know what would happen to them if they didn’t work.

Everyone was born and created equally, therefore we should be created equally. But we slaves are treated differently for our skin color, they do not allow us to learn how to read or write. We raised our owners children, we cared for them, we thought them from right or wrong. We slaves deserve to be free, we go trough so many things that we don’t deserve to go trough. We work hard for our owners, but they don’t care about that, they don’t care about all the things we do for them. We need change, us slaves need to be treated better, WE DESERVE to be treated better and to have equal rights as everyone in this country. “Convince me that one man may rightfully make another man his slave”, **__ William Lloyd Garrison. __**** William Loyd garrison is right no man was given the right to **** slave another man, go never gave people the right to slave another person. God created everyone equally, he never gave the right to enslave other people. No generation that slaves people is advanced, a generation that enslaves people can be taken advantage off because another generation could come and enslave them, slavery is wrong, we need to realize that nothing good comes from slavery, only fear from others. **


 * You have heard me speak and you have heard my experience, now I beg of you to realize what slavery does. Slavery cause people to be afraid of you, slavery doesn’t make you look “cool” slavery makes you look like someone who is lazy, someone who isn’t very smart, **** and **** someone who is cruel. Slavery makes you look like someone who doesn’t have a heart ****, someone who doesn’t care about others, slavery is the wrong choice. Come with me and join my side **** , **** fight by my side and help me end this horrible nightmare **** . **

Hi, my name is Albisladys Castellanos. I was born and race in New York. However I move to the south and in there I became a slave just because I’m black. Be black is not a bad thing, but for then it is. Black people are human like you. Furthermore we need to be treating like everyone in this country. If you listen to me we can stop slavery. Come and listen to me, don’t let black people became slavery. I’m not the only one that wants to stop this situation. There is a lot of people black and white, there name are “William Lloyd, Frederick Douglas, Angelina Grimke and Sojourner Truth.” Slavery is people that are been treat badly. They don’t give you a lot of food. You don’t even get to a bath. They don’t let you to be educated. Look people all the bold and crash that I have, because of the slavery. I’m missing fingers and tooth. Be slavery hurt your body and not only your body, but your mind too. They don’t care what age are you. There two million slaves that were brought to the American South from Africa and the West Indies. This is way you need to help me stop this slavery. You maybe do not know how this hurt or fell, but please be a good person and help us stop this mean thing. However I’m slavery and I know how this fell that why I’m let you know my story and how the slaves are treating. If we stop this slavery, we became better person and place. Please let stop this unfair thing to the black people.

Man oh man. My brothers and sisters all over the nation, all across the world we need to stop this. I will save everyone that has sin throughout there life. If you help believe me you will not step foot in hell I will save you. My name is Shabazz Manba. I am from Cambridge, MA. I go to Cambridge Ringe and Latin High School. I was a slave in the south but I left that terrible place. But now I feel I am free. This is why I am here today, in order to stop this mess going on in this world.

There is something that is going on in this world. But I don't know if you people in that north know a lot about this terrible thing. It is when someone treats another human as an animal and make them work all day long. This is a thing that makes colored humans work on crops in the burning heat and beaming sun. If a person doesn't do the work or does the work wrong the person gets beat or killed. Hold on! Just look at my back. Do you see all these scars? This is from my so called owner. These terrible things I just described are from a thing called SLAVERY!

This thing SLAVERY you kind hearted people have to help me stop this. We have to put this to an end. All we need to do is go to the south and tell those nasty southerners that slavery has to end and take those slaves up north. Also we could write newspapers. Then we could go around and tell people how bad slavery is. We need to put this to an end!

Slavery is a very popular thing right now and should be stopped now. My name is Anna Maguire, I've grown up in a slave owning household since I was born and now I'm 23 and I'm here to tell you about my experience with slavery and how I feel about it and how it effects the people in it and who live around it.

As I was growing up I became to realize at a very young age that slavery was unfair and inconsiderate to the slaves that live on any plantation. The slaves have to work day in and day out with no brakes and no food. The working conditions are very bad to work in because of the hot sun and improper clothes that don't copmpletey cover them or vice versa when its bitter cold out the slaves can't stay warm and end up getting frost bite, some have died because of this. At night all the slaves have to cram into a few small houses and NO beds and all they get to sleep on is a dirt floor.

YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND! Slavery needs to be stopped look at how the north is...they're all fine and guess what...not one slave to show for it. I know that people in the south can get by without slaves because I grew up there. You can help STOP slavery here is how: protest against slavery, hang up signs, let people know how you feel about it! The harsh truth is its not right! and it needs to be stopped, look at these pictures I have hanging up (everyone looks) this is what slaves go through everyday, I know you may think "but slaves can become free by working a certain amount of years" but by the time the slave earns their freedom they are old and are not going to live much longer. I have one last thing to say to you "ALL men and women are created equal" I think that is should say : All men and women, black, white, ANY color are created equal. Thank you for your time!

LET US BE THE YEAR OF CHANGE

Look at me and what do you see. Look at these scars and all the blood stains a broken leg. I can barely walk. When you see me you are looking at a slave who has escaped slavery. I have escaped slavery a cruel and horrifying place, a place of hard work and no freedom. Places were you will stay your whole life. Slavery does all these things all this physical pain and also emotional. Imagining being separated from your family you will be heartbroken. That's how I feel, that's how all of us feel back in the south.

Slavery is a terrible treatment for us. Even kids are taken into slavery. Imagining those kids so weak and helpless and they make them work their hearts out. People are beating every time for taking a second. See all the scars and physical damaged I have is minimal for what most of the others have gone through. People have died for no reason.

We need a stop for this misery we need to work together to stop this. With your help we will stop this, no more getting beaten, no more scars, no more slaves, we need freedom!

Ladies and gentlemen, please, listen to my speech. I will say this only once, so please, listen carefully. I'm an abolitionist and I want you to know that slavery is bad, and should be abolished because its not fair for them. they want their freedom and liberty for their poor lives, so listeners, we need to help them.

I know it's hard to say this to you but we need to help each other to stop this cruelty and should be ended immediatley. These people have the right, like any of us, to have a decent life. They have suffered for a long time now as slaves since their ancestors first set their foot on this land. they were treated worse than animals and also punished for mistakes they have done.

Let us bond together to put slavery to an end and proclaim to the world that this country of ours is indeed the land of the free!

Do you ever feel like you're being told what to do? Don't you hate it when your mom tells you to clean up your room? My name is Will Smith and I am against slavery. I have been told by former slaves that slavery is horrible and you are treated very poorly by the slave owners. I am trying to put a stop to this because why would anybody want to be told what to do by people who "own" them? It's not right and it should be stopped.

I live in the north but I make frequent visits to the south because my family lives there and I happen to see how bad the conditions the slaves are living in. They live in very small smelly shacks which are only supposed to hold about 4 people but they overcrowd them and put in like 10. They have dirty old clothes that are all torn apart and can barely fit them.

The reason I am doing this is because I don't think anyone should be going through what these people are going through. So to help them we can build them better homes. Maybe donate some clothes to them that aren't all torn up and give them a long lasting supply of food. If you come and watch my speech I might sign an autograph for you if you are lucky. So I hope you can agree with my speech and help make a change.

Hello, my name is John Gray and I come from the state of Iowa. I had been doing some research and I asked slaves that escaped what it was like on their day to day life. They had horrible memories and they were treated unhuman. A story I was particulary interested in a woman named Shana's story. Shes 17 and she told me how she had to pick wheat for 15 hours a day, and on her spare time she would draw pictures of slaves getting beat and whipped and how tough being a slave was.

The slaves talked about how they worked all day for nothing and if they refused to work they would be whipped senselessly. the slaves had nasty scars all over their bodies as if they were animals. A slave named Tony. He was taken away from his family because his wife and the slave master had an argument. Tony was whipped so hard his left arm is now paralyzed.

Slaves are people, not animals and it we don't put an end to it thousands of humans will be treated like these slaves were treated, and they will be taken away from their family and they will see horrible things happen right before their eyes. Support the abolitionist movement.

Hello, my name is Shania. I work for the law force now but was a slave awhile ago. I was in the south and was tortured by everyone who owned me and it really wasn't good. I escaped through the underground railroad. The reason I'm telling you this is because, I have recently been to Malden High School and saw some things that weren't very good. They had slaves that were held against their will. Students and teachers would treat them poorly. I need you to help me and them to fight for their rights to be free and have a better life like each and every one of you. I believe we should do this because like the Declaration of Independence "all men are created equal." Adn if this is true these slaves should be free.
