Carved in Ebony is a well researched book with ten woman who are inspiration to the Colored People who were enslaved for hundreds of years and how each women were significantly making some change in the lives of Black People. I came to know more about the struggles and how each they tried to get the freedom.
In each story we can see they had the belief in divine and it is explained a lot in the book and they were stubborn in helping others. There are some who joined missionaries and traveled across the world and give education and love to the people around. I loved that each woman mentioned in the story tried to uplift others.
There were a lot of discrimination and struggles they faced during those era which we cannot think of. I came to know about special schools, colleges and churches for the Black People which was built by rich coloured people for their people as they know how many white people treated them.
There a lot of people in history who were not educated but had the knowledge and will power to make changes in the society and to empower others and it made me think what am doing to make some change in the society, where there are bias and discrimination still exists.
