Harriet Jacobs was not allowed to attend her father's funeral because she was enslaved and her owner denied her permission to go. As an enslaved person, her movements and decisions were controlled by her owner, and attending the funeral of a loved one was not considered a right. Jacobs later expressed her sorrow and frustration over the loss and the restrictions placed on her life due to slavery. This experience deeply impacted her views on freedom and family bonds.
