by Harriet E. Wilson (Author)

""Our Nig: Sketches From The Life Of A Free Black"" is a novel written by Harriet E. Wilson, first published in 1859. It tells the story of Frado, a young biracial girl who is abandoned by her mother and left to work as an indentured servant for a white family in New England. Frado faces constant abuse and mistreatment from the family, as well as from the other white people in the town who view her as inferior due to her race. Despite these challenges, Frado manages to find some solace through her friendships with other black people in the town. The novel is based on Wilson's own experiences as a free black woman living in the 19th century, and it offers a powerful critique of the racism and prejudice that was rampant during that time period. Overall, ""Our Nig"" is a poignant and thought-provoking work that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of American history.In A Two-Story White House, North.
