Fortune's Bones: The Manumission Requiem

(2) YA The skeleton of an enslaved man in eighteenth-century Connecticut was kept as an anatomical specimen, then donated to a museum two hundred years later. Nelson's poems--along with photos, reproductions, and Pamela Espeland's contextualizing notes and annotations--recount this tale of execrable ownership with a simple yet profound dignity.
