As a free African-American living in the North in the 1800s, Charlotte Forten was luckier than most African-Americans of her time. But she still faced segregation, limited opportunities, and the sharp barbs of racism. Through it all, Charlotte wrote down her experiences in a diary. Read her story, and learn about the pre-Civil War days from someone who lived it.
