Can we trust the “truthfulness” of what we read in To Be A Slave ? Why or why not? Support your answer.
I think we can trust the book, To Be A Slave, but not entirely. It is true that African people were taken away from their homes and that they were tortured. First of all, the author, Julius Lester is a teacher from a well-known college and teaches human rights. He wouldn't have written the story wihout specific facts because the book won a New Berry Honor prize which is another stong reason that this book is reliable. And thirdly, I think Mr. Coyle wouldn't have let us read this book if it was exaggerated on the slve's point of view and had personal ideas in it.
