When NYPD agent Dajahn Rocmah, along with partner Delfori Bagans, receives a distress-call assistance from 911 one rainy Thursday night, little did he know that he would be led to a woman that was like no other he’d met. Except for the fact that Princess Martins Marelli was involved in a domestic argument with her wealthy estranged husband, she seemed to be your typical bombshell blonde—or so Rocmah thought. Princess is in fact anything but vanilla. She comes from a rich ancestry that began on a farm in Georgia between the white farm owner’s son, Luther Martins II, and a black slave girl named Tamalu, Luther Junior’s friend from childhood. The Slave Lover (Chocolate in the Milk) is a unique love story that spans races and generations, from the Civil War to present-day New York City. It follows the struggles and successes of the Martins family amid their interracial backdrop and the pains and pleasures that go along with it.

Historians have traditionally neglected relationships between slave men and women during the antebellum period. In Chains of Love, historian Emily West remedies this situation by investigating the social and cultural history of slave relationships in the very heart of the South. Focusing on South Carolina, West deals directly with the most intimate areas of the slave experience including courtship, love and affection between spouses, the abuse of slave women by white men, and the devastating consequences of forced separations. Slaves fought these separations through cross-gender bonding and cross-plantation marriages, illustrating West's thesis about slave marriage as a fierce source of resistance to the oppression of slavery in general. Making expert use of sources such as the Works Progress Administration narratives, slave autobiographies, slave owner records, and church records, this book-length study is the first to focus on the primacy of spousal support as a means for facing oppression. Chains of Love provides telling insights into the nature of the slave family that emerged from these tensions, celebrates its strength, and reveals new dimensions to the slaves' struggle for freedom.

One woman’s struggle to restore an old slave cemetery uncovers centuries-old racism When China Galland visited her childhood hometown in east Texas, she learned of an unmarked cemetery for slaves-Love Cemetery. Her ensuing quest to restore and reclaim the cemetary unearths racial wounds that have never completely healed. Research becomes activism as she organizes a grassroots, interracial committee, made up of local religious leaders and lay people, to work on restoring community access to the cemetery. The author also presents material from the time of slavery and the Reconstruction Era, including stories of “landtakings” (the theft of land from African Americans), and forms of slavery that continued well into the twentieth century. Ultimately Keepers of Love delivers a message of tremendous hope as members of both black and white communities come together to right an historical wrong, and in so doing, discover each other’s common dignity. “Galland captures the struggle to reclaim one small cemetery in Texas with such engrossing drama and personal detail that the story becomes something larger still-a universal struggle to reclaim the ground of Deep Compassion that lies untended in the human heart.”-Sue Monk Kidd
