Unsung

"Unsung" is a groundbreaking anthology that traces the history of Black people from transatlantic slavery to the Reconstruction era, emphasizing their roles as active agents in their own lives and liberation. Curated by the Schomburg Center, this first Penguin Classics collaboration brings together well-known abolitionist documents alongside lesser-known narratives and accounts of daily life and activism during the slavery era. By integrating rare histories and first-person narratives, this collection aims to foster a nuanced discussion on themes of slavery, resistance, and anti-slavery protest in the United States.
