Sarah Margru Kinson was an African girl who was on the Amistad. I read the historical fiction book by Monica Edinger about Margru. Her father pawned Margru because the village needed food. In the story Ms. Edinger imagines why her father pawned her — so she said’ because the village needed food.’

Margru Kinson calls the white men that was on the ship ‘White ghosts.’ When Margru was on the ship she had to stay below the deck packed with Africans at the very dark bottom. Margru had a strange thought that the ‘white ghost’ (the white man) was going to eat her. Because they had no reason to take her away, at least that’s what she thought. Day and night she was dreaming about her mom and her dad.

Now you know a tiny bit about the story. If you like it you could read it. And if you don’t like it, I recommend you should because if you like a emotional, touching and heart warming documentaries you came to the right place.
