Recenzii
"Lyrical when the demand arises, Jacqueline Bernard has succeeded. . . . I read [Journey Toward Freedom] as I would any good popular history concerning an era about which I would like to learn more, and I learned from the author's quiet narrative ease and lucid prose."
— The New York Times Book Review
"A magnificent biography of a magnificent woman, told with no strident blare of trumpets, but with a steady roll of drums."
— Publishers Weekly
"Many biographies are touted as being inspiring: this one really is because the author has let the vigor, the humility, and the courage of Sojourner speak for themselves."
