A Former Slave's Letter To His Old Master

In 1864, Jourdon Anderson and his wife escaped a life of slavery and moved to Ohio. A year later, he received a desperate letter from the man who used to own him, in which he was asked to return to work on his now ailing plantation. Lawrence Fishburne reads Anderson’s reply. (may be a repost)
