We All Got History: The Memory Books of Amos Webber (Statue of Liberty - Ellis Island Centennial Series (Sle))
Lost for over a hundred years until their rediscovery by Nick Salvatore, Amos Webber€s €œThermometer Books€ recorded six decades of the daily experiences of a black freeman in nineteenth-century Philadelphia and Worcester, Massachusetts. These diaries form the basis for Salvatore€s vital portrait of an everyday hero who struggled unrelentingly for his people in a land that still considered blacks to be less than human.
Â
In We All Got History, we see Webber working as a janitor; rescuing fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad; marching triumphantly into Richmond with the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry; and active in the religious and fraternal organizations that became the cement of the African American community. What emerges from this moving history is not only a picture of Webber the man, but also of the vibrant African American culture that nurtured him.
