'in slavery time'

Harriet Smith used to be a slave, but you wouldn’t know if she didn’t tell you.

You can listen to her in the interview above. She sounds old but cheerful, sharing stories from her life just as any grandmother would.

NOrmal, except for the fact that someone used to own her.

If slaves talk just like any other people do, how do you know you’re not one?

No one may own you, but if you think and act like someone does, well, is there a difference?
