if -- she began working as a domestic worker for a lawyer in covington, kentucky, named harvey meyers. at some point she unfolded for meyers her long ordeal at the hands of zebulon ward whose name she had never forgotten. and then in 18 is 70, with meyers' legal help, she filed a remarkable lawsuit against zebulon ward in the superior court of cincinnati. the lawsuit laid out all that had happened since 1853, and it demanded that ward pay $20,000 in damages and lost wages for her many years of enslavement. now, i've already foreshadowed the outcome of this case, but before i give you the specifics, here's a question i've often been asked by readers about it. how unusual was wood's lawsuit? and the answer is that it was both unsurprising and surprising at the same time. unsurprising because enslaved and formerly enslaved people had articulated the demand for reparations from the earliest days of the nation's history and would continue making the demand long after wood's lawsuit. in 2014, just a few months before i began researching this book, an influential article by the award-winning
