Autorenporträt
Henry Clay Bruce was born in Virginia in 1836, experiencing the harsh realities of slavery first hand. Raised in bondage, Bruce was eventually freed after nearly three decades of enslavement. Following his emancipation, he became an advocate for African-American rights and shared his experiences through writing. His most notable work, The New Man: Twenty-nine Years a Slave, Twenty-nine Years a Free Man, reflects on his personal journey and the broader implications of slavery and freedom. Bruce's life spanned significant historical changes, and his writings offer a unique perspective on the complexities of enslavement, freedom, and racial relations. Throughout his life, he worked to shed light on the struggles and triumphs of African-Americans in the post-slavery era. Bruce died in 1902 at the age of 66, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy and literary contributions that continue to resonate in discussions of race and history. His parents' names were not recorded in the available records, but his life story remains an important part of African-American history and the narrative of freedom.
