From Slavery to Freedom. Preface. by John Hope Franklin.

From Slavery to Freedom" most famously refers to the seminal 1947 book by John Hope Franklin that chronicles the complete history of African Americans from their origins in Africa to the modern day, a work that continues to influence the study of African American history.

The phrase can also refer to the historical journey itself, as seen in projects like the Ontario Heritage Trust's "Slavery to Freedom" resource, which explores the path of African Americans who escaped to freedom in Canada.
