Booktalk:<\/strong> Henrietta Wood was born enslaved. As a teen she was ripped from her family and sold. Years later, a miracle happened, and she was given freedom papers. But Henrietta\u2019s freedom was short-lived. She was tricked back into enslavement and sent to a Mississippi cotton plantation.<\/p>\n

On June 19, 1865\u2014Juneteenth\u2014she was emancipated. Finally free for good, Henrietta Wood sued the man who had kidnapped her back into enslavement\u2014and she won! Henrietta was one of the few people in United States history to ever receive a reparation payment for slavery. <\/p>\n
