Video - Black Beauty: The Hidden Revolution Behind A Children's Classic

Did you know that the Black Beauty horse story has a dark twist? Anna Sewell’s classic novel, "Black Beauty," was originally written to shine a light on the mistreatment of horses in Victorian England. But here's a spicy tidbit: the book was actually a covert social critique of human class struggles and animal rights. Sewell used the horse’s narrative to subtly criticize the harsh conditions of the working class and advocate for compassion towards all living beings. And get this, she wrote the entire novel during the last years of her life, bedridden and unable to walk! So next time you think of "Black Beauty," remember, it’s not just a children’s story—it’s a revolutionary manifesto on hooves. What other classic tales do you think have hidden messages?
