"In Freedom Knows My Name, Kelly A. Harris combines the truths of her Midwest upbringing with her adult life in the South, bearing witness to a changing America. With a nod to generations past 'Negroes still bent in the fields of yesterday' to the changing of now, 'may the heaven/ we prayed for come /out of nowhere' Harris' pen doesn't miss a beat, asking necessary questions in language that is critical and incisive. Yet these words linger long on love, hope, identity, and determination, 'We are dangerous/ when we love We' yes, we sure are"-- from back cover.
