@Chevdove yeah, the behind your birth time machine.
The problem with people in history like Tituba is all that is known is irrelevant to knowing who she is.
this is why I emphasize to all black people, leave a diary. Not for sale, not for making money, for making a record of you by you. This is not about getting an a or making a thesis for review to earn a piece of paper from a school, this is about comprehending that knowing who someone is , does not derive from the paper trail. Their travel log doesn't display who they are. census does not display who they are. a diary displays who you are.
well, yes, in some ways I find a lot of value in her testimony, not truth in what it says but in truth in what it derives. here is an enslaved woman, unhappy/angry/bitter and she must have realized this is her chance to cause havoc. I find comfort in the truth of her actions.
