I mean, these people had nothing, and they were so petrified, they wanted to give up, but the woman in the center rallied for them to persevere, and abolitionists on the ground helped them get a quarry lease of their own, so that now they do the same back-breaking work, but they do it for themselves, and they get paid for it, and they do it in freedom.
Jeg mener, disse mennesker havde ingenting, og de var så stive af skræk, de ville give op, men kvinden i centeret samlede dem til at holde ud, og abolitionisterne på stedet hjalp dem med at få deres egen forpagtning til stenbruddet, så nu laver de det samme rygbrækkende arbejde, men de gør det for sig selv, og de bliver betalt for at gøre det, og de gør det i frihed.
