Title: Making freedom pay
Description: "In Making Freedom Pay, Sharon Ann Holt reconstructs how freed men and women in tobacco-growing central North Carolina worked to secure a place for themselves in this ravaged region and hostile time. Without ignoring the crushing burdens of a system that denied blacks justice and civil rights, Holt shows that many black men and women were able to fulfill their hopes through determined collective efforts."--BOOK JACKET.
