*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
She was born into slavery. She had no recorded name. No rights. No voice; at least, not one the law recognized. But she listened. In a world where the words liberty and equality were spoken by those who denied them to others, one woman refused to accept the contradiction. Known as Bett, she heard the promise written into the Massachusetts Constitution; that all people are born free and equal; and made a bold decision that would change her life forever. With courage and determination, she took her fight to court. Her case, Brom and Bett v. Ashley , became one of the first legal challenges to slavery in Massachusetts; and helped bring about its end. This powerful nonfiction account brings to life the story of Elizabeth Freeman, later known as Mum Bett; a woman whose quiet strength and fearless pursuit of justice transformed not only her own future, but the meaning of freedom itself. Perfect for readers interested in early American history, untold stories of courage, and the fight for equality, A Case for Freedom is a compelling reminder that sometimes, change begins with a single question: What if the law truly meant what it said?
