Post #3: The Book of Negroes Title
The Book of Negroes is a historical document with the name of 3,000 black people who had served in the American Revolution War for the British. I think this title fits really well with the book and is appropriate because the book takes place in the time that the historical Book of Negroes was written. People that do not know about the historical document may find this title offensive; I believe that if people knew what the historical Book of Negroes was or read the book there would be no censorship or book burnings. Also Lawrence Hill made a good choice by calling this book The Book of Negroes because although it may be controversial, it is getting a lot of attention and as a result may educate people about some historical events.
