Edit
Trivia Based on the name of the book that really existed, that had the names of Negroes who served the British during the Civil War, then were freed and sent to Nova Scotia to live. Publishers changed the name of the book from "Book of Negroes" to "Someone Knows My Name" because the term "Negro" has become a derogatory term to many people in the U.S., and sellers were hesitant to sell a book with that word in the title.
