the audiobook

The Moses Grandy Legacy Lives© audiobok is the life story of Moses Grandy, an ancestor born in Camden County, NC, enslaved in North Carolina and Deep Creek (Chesapeake) Virginia, and who purchased his freeom three (3) times before being physically set free from slavery circa 1830. The audiobook is an adaptation from Grandy's 1843 slave narrative entitled The Life of Moses Grandy; Late a Slave in the United States of America, and it was created by Eric A. "Mubita" Sheppard, President & Visionary of Diversity Restoration Solutions, Inc. (DRS). Eric is also a Grandy family descendant. Eric added a foreword to the audiobook version acknowledging the legacy of Moses Grandy and paying homage to all ancestors who were enslaved. The slave narrative provides the only known first-hand account of enslaved life for African Americans who hand dug the Dismal Swamp Canal, an UGRR historical landmark that spans 22-miles between North Carolina (VA) and Virginia (VA). The audiobook and written slave narrative are extremely relevant to America's history of slavery, in particular VA and NC. The British & Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in London, England published Grandy's slave narrative in 1843. However, there was also a reprint published in 1844 in Boston, MA, as well. The audiobook is just 78 minutes, and it comes in an easy format for listerners of all ages. Recommended listener age is 10 years and older. HIstorians have said that Grandy's slave narrative is the only known first-hand account of enslaved life for African Americans who hand dug the Dismal Swamp Canal, an Underground Railroad (UGRR) historical landmark that spans 22-miles between NC and VA. The Canal is also the only official UGRR site that crosses over two states. The Dismal Swamp Canal and the DRS UGRR tour are certified by the National Underground Railroad "Network to Freedom" program through the National Park Service. If you are a primary or secondary educator (K-12), the audiobook and the written resources pair well together as a primary source learning document, offering a mixed media approach to history. DRS can create a digital download agreement with a unique code for your students to easily download the audiobook. DRS has additional educator services, including professional development training, and Educator's Guide to assist with lesson planning, consultation services and an optional Underground Railroad (UGRR) field trip to the Great Dismal Swamp and Canal areas where Moses lived and worked (Call for more information on optional UGRR field trip).
