Song of Slaves, Bound for Freedom

Throughout his career, Dwight L. Wilson has held many jobs: educator, administrator, chaplain. In each role, he worked to advance equality, opportunity and understanding. He continues this work in his carefully researched historical fiction series Esi Was My Mother, which follows the lives of an enslaved black family from 18th century Africa to the American Civil War. He strives to portray triumphant examples of black stories that will make history come alive for readers. He is also author of The Kidnapped: A Collection of Short Stories and Modern Psalms: In Search of Peace and Justice. Dwight writes about "characters who existed, those who could have existed, and those who should have existed."
