Описание: In 1857, an 18-year-old enslaved woman named Lear Green made a choice that would save her life and end it at the same time. After four years of nightly abuse by her master James Noble, she climbed into a wooden sailor's chest measuring just 3 feet by 2 feet, sealed herself in darkness, and was shipped as cargo from Baltimore to Philadelphia. For 18 hours, she couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't breathe properly through a hole no wider than a nail. She survived the journey. She married the man who'd planned her escape. She lived free for exactly three years. Then she died at age 21, drowning on dry land, killed by the same chest that had saved her. This is the story of Lear Green, the woman history forgot but whose wooden coffin sits in a museum today—more famous than the person who suffered inside it.
