Sis' Becky's Pickaninny

Lyssna i appen
An enslaved person, Becky, gets married and has a baby, Moses, on the plantation where she’s held. Soon after her baby is born, her husband is sold to a plantation so far away that she’ll never see him again. However, she takes comfort in that she still has their child and keeps doing the work she’s forced to do.
Her slaveholder, Pen’leton, likes to bet on horses and makes a deal to trade Becky for a prize racehorse one day. The new slaveholder tells Pen’leton he won’t bring Becky’s baby with her, then tricks her into leaving willingly. Once Becky learns the truth, she becomes hysterical but gets to work at the new place after being threatened.
