Come join us to discuss Our Nig: or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black by Harriet E. Wilson, who was from Milford, NH

 

Amazon description: "First published in 1859, Our Nig is an autobiographical narrative that stands as one of the most important accounts of the life of a black woman in the antebellum North. In the story of Frado, a spirited black girl who is abused and overworked as the indentured servant to a New England family, Harriet E. Wilson tells a heartbreaking story about the resilience of the human spirit."

 

In 1859, Harriet E. Wilson was the first African-American to publish a novel in the US.
