PRE OR POST-SHOW ACTIVITY - CONTINUED HARRIET JACOBS LEARNING GUIDE | 2010 APPENDIX This narrative contains some incidents so extraordinary, that, doubtless, many persons, under whose eyes it may chance to fall, will be ready to believe that it is colored highly, to serve a special purpose. But, however it may be regarded by the incredulous, I know that it is full of living truths. I have been well acquainted with the author from my boyhood. The circumstances recounted in her history are perfectly familiar to me. I knew of her treatment from her master; of the imprisonment of her children; of their sale and redemption; of her seven years' concealment; and of her subsequent escape to the North. I am now a resident of Boston, and am a living witness to the truth of this interesting narrative. -GEORGE W. LOWTHER, 1861 This testimony by George Lowther (1822-1898), a prominent African-American citizen of Boston, was included in the 1861 publication of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. One of Jacobs' Northern anti-slavery activist friends, Lowther had grown up in Edenton, North Carolina. He was emancipated as a young man and moved to Massachusetts, where he was elected to the State House of Representatives in 1878. Kansas City Repertory Theatre: Harriet Jacobs | 28
