About this title

Synopsis

An illiterate slave, Dred Scott, trusted in an all-white, slave-owning jury to declare him free. But after briefly experiencing the glory of freedom and manhood, a new state Supreme Court ordered the cold steel of the shackles to be closed again around his wrists and ankles. Falling to his knees, Dred cried, Ain t I a man? Dred answered his own question by rising and taking his fight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
