I just finished watching the Showtime adaptation of the Anne Rice novel The Feast of All Saints. Let me tell you, watching this broke my mind. I had never even known that the "gens de couleur libres" even existed. Like most people my age, I thought that "there were slaves in the south and the abolitionists freed them." Sure I knew there were some freed men and women, but I had no idea...
This story has one twist after another. I highly reccomend that you go out and rent the movie, or better yet, read the book (which I haven't read yet).
