Bondage Broken, a stirring and heartrending story about a perilous, uncertain plight a family endured, starting in South Africa, in 1784. Captured along the Congo River, the family and their leader, Prince Kiume, were loaded onto a slave ship destined for the Americas. Somehow, they survived a deplorable ocean voyage, only to experience family separation on the Auction Block by South Carolina slave merchants. Sadly in 1814, the prince's grandson, Uhuru (Jacob), was stolen from the Mulberry Hill Plantation and forced to perform hard labor in the fields of the Stewart Creek Plantation in Tennessee. Later, Jacob's family arrived at a decision in 1862, during the Civil War, to step into the darkness of the unknown and travel northward as runaways on a precarious uncertain journey.
