We can trust the truthfulness of what we read in this book. For one if you look in the back of the book there is a complete bibliography of all the sources that were used in the book. These sources seem to be real sources with all the appropriate information. Also if you check, the in-text citations seem to match up with the bibliography. My third and final reason is that I found another cite that has information on Julius Lester, which mostly matches up with the info on the author in the book. It seems that Julius Lester is an honest and truthful man who really is telling us the truth about slavery.
Bibliography:"Julius Lester - Home." Julius Lester. 14 Jan. 2008
Lester, Julius. To Be a Slave. New York: Dial Books For Young Readers, 1986.
