Episode Details

In Bridgeports South End, two historic homes on Main Street stand as the last remnants of Little Liberia, a thriving free Black community from the early 1800s. Built by free Black folks and Native Americans, this community was a hub for activism and wealth creation, with families like the Freemans amassing fortunes worth millions today. Despite facing threats and erasure from history, the story of Little Liberia has been rediscovered and preserved through the Mary and Eliza Freeman Center, set to open as a museum and community space on Main Street.
