Freedom Page #5

We sail on the tide, Mr. Davey.

Up on the block

now we have slave number 149.

Male, age 11 years old,

no signs of flux.

Let's sell him.

Let me hear 20 dollars. 20.

Do thee love her, comfort her

Honor and keep her

in sickness and in health

So long as you both shall live?

I do.

You all know me.

But I'm not the same man who

left Rochester ten months ago.

That John Newton

was dramatically changed

One night in a storm

on the Atlantic ocean.

In utter despair I cried

out and was given another chance.

Take away a toy from a child

And give him another

And he is satisfied.

But if he be hungry,

no toy will do.

Thus, as newborn babes

True believers desire

the sincere milk of the word.

And the desire of grace

in this way

Is grace.

# Amazing Grace

# How sweet the sound

# That saved a wretch like me

# I once was lost

# But now am found

# Was blind

# But now I see

Look, pa! I can see the crossing.

Hey!

Go on, Samuel.

Get Jim across, I'll wait here.

Come on, boy. Let's go.

We're free, son!

We're free!

Got you, boy.

Hey, boy!

Come on back now, boy.

Nessa!

Don't make

me do something stupid.

Come on!

Willie!

Clem, are you with me?

We'll split Monroe's money.

They're mine.

No more killing, I mean it.

Monroe told me dead

or alive, old man.

Clem, you're just gonna

stand there?

You best get outta here, Clem.

I ain't gonna ask again.

So you're just gonna shoot

Monroe's daughter, huh?

I'm all yours, Mr. Plimpton!

Shut your mouth, slave boy.

No deals!

Tell him not to do it,

Mr. Plimpton.

Shut your mouth, n*gger!

Nessa!

- Samuel!

- Come over here.

Come on.

Why, Mr Plimpton?

I've had enough.

No more killing.

Monroe gave me this

to bring you in.

Take it.

Make a life for her

and your son.

It's a little gift

from his grandfather.

Huh?

You're free now, Samuel.

How sweet the sound...
