“Out the Mud”
Juneteenth 1865, a newly freed couple stands at a crossroads: leave the only land they’ve ever known to forge an uncertain future, or remain on the plantation to work for the family that once claimed ownership over their lives. Inspired by the Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers’ Project.
