Lawrence Hill- The Author of The Book of Negroes

Hi! Today, for English class, I will be writing about Lawrence Hill, who is the author of The Book of Negroes. I used the website 'lawrencehill.com' as a reference.

Lawrence Hill is a very well-known and admired author. He was born and raised in Canada. He speaks French and Spanish, as well as English, and has lived across Canada, as well as in Baltimore, Spain and France. He used to be a reporter for the Globe and Mail. He has also been to countries in Africa, including Niger, Cameroon and Mali, as a volunteer for 'Canadian Crossroads International.' He currently lives in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, which, by chance, is where a bunch of my friends live. 'The Book of Negroes' was his third book. One thing that I learned, while reading his website, was that 'The Book of Negroes' was published under the title 'Someone Knows My Name' in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. I actually got the book from my Canadian friend (from Burlington), so it is under the Canadian title.

Thanks for reading!
