Her Journey to Freedom:
Helping Young Readers Understand Colonial Slavery
In their discussion, author Ray Shepard and educator Nikki Turpin will look at the inspiring story of Ona Judge and how her daring escape during colonial times speaks to all of us in search of racial justice. Examining Ona’s story as well as the stories of those who resided at Robbins House, we will support not only young readers as they think about the lives of those from the past but also support parents as they continue to grapple with similar issues in today’s world.
