Record yourself reading aloud from chapters of books that have been released to the public domain and release the audio files back on to the net at http://librivox.org/. Choose from both fiction and nonfiction books that describe the slave trade, antebellum years, and other parts of history that are painful but important to remember.
There are many to choose from but some relevant suggestions include:
- The Story of the Rubber Slave Trade on the Congo by Edmund Dene Morel (1873 - 1924)
- The Wrong of Slavery, the Right of Emancipation, and the Future of the African Race in the United States by Robert Dale Owen (1801 - 1877).
- The Three Commanders by William Henry Giles Kingston (1814 - 1880).
- The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States by Benjamin Griffith Brawley (1882 - 1939)
