About the Author

"When I am asked what kind of work I do, my answer is that I am astoryteller in picture form, who tries to reflect and interpret thelives and experiences of the people who gave me life. When I am askedwho I am, I say I am an African who was born in America. Both answersconnect me specifically with my past and present...therefore I bring tomy art a quality which is rooted in the culture of Africa...and expandedby the experience of being black in America. I use the vehicle of 'fineart' and 'illustration' as a viable expression of form, yet strivingalways to do this from an African perspective, an African world view,and above all to tell the African story; this is my content. Thestruggle to create artwork, as well as to live creatively under anyconditions and survive (like my ancestors), embodies my particularheritage in America."

Born in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, NewYork, Tom Feelings attended the George Westinghouse Vocational HighSchool where he majored in Art. After graduation, he received ascholarship to the Cartoonists' and Illustrators' School which heattended for two years. Joining the Air Force in 1953, he was stationedin London, England, where he worked in the graphics division of theThird Air Force as a staff artist. From 1959 until 1964 he worked as afreelance artist while attending The School of Visual Arts in New York. During this freelance period, his primary subjects were drawn from theAfrican American people of his community. He traveled to the South in1961 to draw the people of black rural communities and some of thesedrawings were published in Look magazine as part of a featureentitled "The Negro in the U.S."

In 1964, he traveledto Ghana, where he spent two years working both as an illustrator forthe African Review Magazine and for Ghana's governmentpublishing house, teaching illustration. Returning to the United Statesin 1966, he continued to concentrate on illustrating books with Africanand African-American themes. Julius Lester's To Be A Slave,published by Dial and illustrated by Mr. Feelings, was chosen as a 1969Newbery Honor Book -- the first time a black author received this award. From 1971 to 1974, Mr. Feelings lived in Guyana, South America, workingas a teacher and consultant for the Ministry of Education, trainingyoung artists in textbook illustration.

Tom Feelings has receivednumerous awards for his art in books. In 1972, he was the first AfricanAmerican artist to win a Caldecott Honor Award forMoja Means One: A Swahili Counting Book and in 1975 hewon a second Caldecott Honor Award for Jambo Means Hello: ASwahili Alphabet Book, both written by Muriel Feelings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find book covering a powerful story with powerful photography

I purchased this book years ago at a small museum in South Carolina. It's kept on display in my home where visitors often pick it up and are moved by the powerful content. One relative in particular is a photographer and always lingers with this book so I purchased him his own copy for Christmas. Arrived in pristine condition.

A rich pictorial book for the color-blind and those who refuse to see the part of the dark past of the United States history that was clouded by slavery. The book, The Middle Passage:..... uses beautiful imagery to emotionally evoke its audience about a subject matter that is not rarely taught in our educational system and seldom discussed in our homes.

I highly recommend this book for every household. It may not sit out on your coffee table, but I believe it will rest in your hearts.

When you flip through this masterpiece, your heart and soul will be filled with the pain, the resilience and the beauty of the African historical experience of enslavement and survival, in the Americas. You’ll be taken on a spiritual journey which will never leave you.

I purchased this book for a graduate level class and groaned at the price. I had no way of knowing that this book would be such a wonderful treasured investment for me and my family. It is a work of art and once you read how the images are actually created you will truly be amazed. The subject matter is difficult to see, but it gives the truest sense of this horrific time in our history. I use this book in my classroom at times and the pictures relay better than any lecture I can give. This book is truly priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deliberately hidden history

A writing of huge ethnic significance . Belongs in the library of every African American home . Dark history in a format intelligible to all ages , which should never , ever be overlooked , neglected , or forgotten. Especially since the American education system conveniently chooses to "overlook" the horror of the African's abduction , torture , and subjugation of the exposure to European invaders and abductors . Should be read by every is man woman and child in this nation .
