My Skin Was My Sin: The Progeny of Africa in America

by Quincy S. Smith

Overview

In this profound autobiography, Smith exposes the reader to the private pain caused by wounds that bleed from the outside in wounds that traumatize the psyche and injure the soul. In no uncertain terms, Smith reviews the events of his life within the wider context of the historical struggle that began in 1619 when twenty Africans were thrust into bondage at Jamestown Landing on the shores of a nascent America.
