Deckerson Thomas is a chartered public finance accountant and a fourth-generation descendant of slavery, born in the West African state of Sierra Leone.
Deckerson’s direct lineage to slavery and his quest to establish its profound and lasting emotional and psychological effects motivated him to research and produce this pioneering and epic historical and contemporary account. The arduous journey of Africans from slavery through colonialism and present-day imperialism has never been portrayed so succinctly. He has painstakingly laid out this narrative and brilliantly highlighted the continuum from the dark days of servitude to the present from an African perspective.
