The Life of William Grimes offers an eye-opening account of a life during and after slavery, written by a man who experienced and witnessed the worst.

Unlike other slave memoirs, The Life of William Grimes has not been sanitized or otherwise edited for the benefit of what, at the time, was a mostly white readership. The tone set by Grimes in his recollections is one of bitter resentment and indignation at an experience which was demeaning, physically and mentally torturing, and an insult to his very humanity.

Intelligent and perceptive, it was only through luck and trusting his own wits that William was able to escape his enslavement. The son of a white plantation owner and a black mother who worked as his father's slave, Grimes variously worked around the plantation grounds as a coach driver, stable boy, and in the fields.

These ACTUALLY stay put all day long - I was skeptical, but am so glad I took a chance on these
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I was so skeptical about whether these would stay on my feet all day without sliding down into my shoe - I’ve tried so many socks in the past with the silicone strip on the heel which failed. I’ve owned these for a couple months now and they have never slipped down - they stay put all day! I love the variety of colors to choose from, and the value per pack is great since six pairs come per pack (I thought it was only three when I first purchased and was pleasantly surprised by the additional pairs). They also have perfect thickness - not too warm to wear during the summer months with sneakers; I live in a tropical climate, though, so I’m not sure how they will do in cooler climates. I’ve washed each pair once or twice and the color and quality of the silicone has stayed so far (knock on wood). Overall: high recommend based on my experience so far!

No show but stays on
Size: Medium, Color: (014) Halo Gray / Halo Gray / Castlerock
I wear these socks daily. They truly don’t show with my workout shoes or with hey dudes. But the best thing about them is that they actually stay on your foot. I work out hard and I don’t ever have to pull them up. I do wish they were just a little bit thicker than they are, but they are definitely a product I will buy again.

Great for workouts
Size: 10.5, Color: (110) Summit White/White/Khaki Base
I bought these shoes for home workouts, both lifting and aerobics. They're very stable, have the perfect amount of cushion without compromising stability, and are comfortable. They run a bit small; I'm usually a 10, ordered a 10.5 and my toe is at the end. They're snug but not tight and seem to have a good amount of room in the toe box. I'd recommend these.
