About this listen

 Experience the gripping narrative of From the Darkness Cometh the Light, or Struggles for Freedom, as Delaney recounts her harrowing journey from being born into slavery to becoming a beacon of inspiration for others. Born to a freeborn black mother who was kidnapped and sold into slavery, Delaney escaped as a teenager and fought for her freedom in court. After the Civil War, she dedicated her life to inspiring African Americans to seize the opportunities awarded by their newfound freedom and to continuously strive for a better life for themselves and their future generations. This podcast is a tribute to her relentless spirit, as beautifully summarized by James K. White.
