Authors for Truth: Dr. Richard Bell

Join our inaugural "Authors for Truth" speaker event featuring author Dr. Richard Bell on "Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home" (2019), a gripping and true story about five boys who were kidnapped and smuggled into slavery. Free and open to the public, $5 suggested donation at the door to the PGCMLS Foundation. Books will be available for purchase.

“In Stolen Richard Bell brings to life amoral con men, heartless slave dealers and suffering victims. He vividly re-creates the squalid social environments of interstate human trafficking. His superbly researched and engaging book exposes previously hidden horrors of American slavery.” —Wall Street Journal
