Natalie J. Ring: Reading this newly discovered mind-blowing "slave narrative" by Harriet Jacobs' brother John Swanson Jacobs, who fled slavery and became a Black sailor. It is untouched by white abolitionist editors and published in an Australian newspaper. The narrative is unfiltered, raw, and radical. 🗃️

Holy shit, I wrote my thesis in college off of Harriet Jacob’s. Thanks for sharing this info!

Oh wow. I will date myself and say I wrote a research paper on the Harriet Jacobs narrative in college shortly after Jean Fagan Yellin released it!

John Jacobs though identified as a Garrisonian right until his death.

Wait, wut?! I need to read this. But I’m also wondering if my soul can handle it right now… Damn.

Here is more info on it. Hope you can access. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/23/a...
