I think that you can believe most of what is said in "To Be A Slave." I think it is believable because Lester was very active in the Civil Right Movements and knew a lot about it while he was alive. I also think this book is believable because is contains many letters that slaves have written which show that it must be true. The reason that this book might not be that accurate is because since slaves wrote the letters you only hear their side of the story and the slaves tended to only say the bad things about their employers. This might make the book less accurate because the slaves could make up things in order to try and get their owner into trouble. All in all, I think that this book can be trusted even though it might not be a hundred percent accurate.
