Black Lives Matter Too, Two Mark Time

In his first book, Black Lives Matter Too: My Adventures with Huckleberry Finn, author Mark Time dealt with the greatest injustice in the original Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn books - ignoring the slave's perspective and the seriousness of slavery - by re-imagining the characters Jim and Nat, primarily, and re-telling the story through Jim. Now, Mark Time's second book, Black Lives Matter Too, Two: The Death of Huckleberry Finn, addresses the second great injustice - ignoring the woman's perspective - by re-imagining the character of Aunt Polly and creating a new character to be the girl-equivalent of Tom and Huck, Miss Melissasippi Jane. The Death of Huckleberry Finn picks up where the first book left off, on a one-horse plantation in Louisiana, and follows Jim, and Tom, and Huck, and the rest of the gang, on the return home up the Mississippi River through the dark heart of slavery back to Saint Petersburg.
