After resting the night, the three are excited to find Fort Mose. Tidbit asks about his mother again. Amari tells him: “Your mama is glad because she know you be full of joy” (282). She reminds him of the special kente cloth that she gave him to remember her by. He asks her: “Will you be my mama now, Amari?” and, of course, she agrees (283).
“That afternoon they finally saw it—the place they had dreamed of for so long” (284). It is quite small and the houses are small and few. Amari states the obvious: “Freedom not big. Freedom not pretty…But freedom sure do feel good” (284).
The three of them walk into the town quickly, and a “woman, dressed in a simple green calico dress and a bonnet to match” stands in front of a house and calls to them, waving (285-286). She welcomes them over and feeds them bowls of corn pudding and roasted rabbit. Amari and Polly tell her of their far and difficult journey and want to confirm that they are in Fort Mose. Hardly believing that they’ve finally made it, Amari isn’t sure about what to dream anymore.
