Hello my name is Kelis Muhammad, I am a slave from Huntsville located in Alabama. I've been enslaved my entire life. I losted my mother , father & 3 of my siblings to being trade. I want to find my way to the North so I could live a better & free life.
While I was working on the field my master had told me the worst news of my life. This pain in my heart was too hard to handle.
WAIT! Mr.Johnston please don't sell me. I do my best trying to do everything you ask. I DON"T WANT TO GET SELLED.
Kelis you are getting selled today. I don't care how you feel , it's the best decision for me.
While I was packing my belongings away, my Aunt had told me she heard the news of me getting sold. She told me that she had a plan for me to get away.
Kelis! I heard the news and I found away for you to leave to the north. Hurry up & pack up your things. I'm going to introduce to my friend Harriet.
Thank you so much Auntie! I finally get to live the life I always wanted, I'm so ready Alabama.
When it had finally got dark outside my Auntie took me to see her friend Harriet. Harriet told me the whole plan about how to get to the North.
Okay, I know the trip to the north will be long and I'm prepared to start my new life. Thank you for your help.
Hi Kelis, I have a plan to get you out of here. It's called the underground railroad. It's one of the safest ways to get slaves to freedom.
My journey to the north was a long one but it was worth. I had been on my feet for days, with pain all in my feet and my body hurting. I made new friends but some of us didn't end up in the same state. I was happy I had finally made it to the north.
I had finally made it to the north. I was living in Harlem, New York. Life was better here even though the whites still hated us, we had way more rights in the north. I would never go back the south. I love it here.
WELCOME TO NEW YORK! WHERE DREAMS DO COME TRUE
