The civil war, Martin Luther King's demonstrations, The Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Voting Rights Act of 1965, and many more—were some of the milestones that helped achieve equality between White and Black Americans. The black community, to some degree, now holds important roles in society—a far cry from the past when African-Americans are only there to be exploited, to pick cotton, be beaten up, sexually assaulted, and other forms of abuse. However, scars from the past do not fade simply, especially when oppression takes on another form—from slavery to discrimination. It begs the question: Are black people truly free, in the land of the free?
“Freed from Slavery but Still in Bondage” by Alice Faye Wimberly is a heartfelt, thought-provoking memoir that recounts her experiences growing up in one of the darkest times in the history of the United States of America—the 40s and 50s era. Alice pans the lens toward two of the most iconic movements in recent memory: the Civil Rights Movement and Feminism. In this book, she recounts her memories as a young girl longing to break free from a poverty-stricken home. Alice thought that marrying someone will be her way out—but this was a lapse in judgment. Alice ends up with a wife batterer and finds herself suffering from abuse and ridicule. But despite these disheartening events in her life, Alice finds courage, hope, and strength through faith in God to leave her husband, which leads to her eventual release from the shackles of abuse.
Alice and this memoir will inspire the readers to find the strand of faith in their hearts and to always remember that God is not blind to our sufferings. She teaches everyone to be independent of anyone but God. She will share her pain, tears, and sufferings but will also let you walk with her in peace, joy, and God's abundant blessing.
