Based upon "The Seven Cries of Wisdom for Today's Teens", Get a Life encourages young people to begin their teen years as nonsmokers and stay that way for the rest of their lives.

Selected stories and extracts from the narratives of male slaves that range from the early 1800s, the period of the growing Abolitionist movement, to the 1930s and the oral histories collected from ex-slaves by the WPA Federal Writers Project.
