        This very very brief article is about slavery and race, which is a recurring topic in Beloved. Sethe wants to escape her past as a slave and tires to live her life in freedom. The article relates to this as well because it's about half black children who don't want to be slaves and want to be free. Only they won't do it by running away, they'' do it through education. Even though the children are being used as a sort of propaganda to raise money the benefit is that they will(at least partially ) free. The circumstances about slavery is very disturbing and sad,  if you are born to a certain race you are automatically a slave. You will have to live a life without opportunities and have extreme hardships. Which is the life Sethe survived and the life the children are trying to avoid.
