Description

What does freedom mean when the deck is stacked against you?


In commemoration of Black History Month, we’re revisiting a story that is too often overlooked, but critical to our understanding of Early America.


Join Warren Milteer, Jr., an Associate Professor of History at George Washington University, as we uncover the lives of free people of color in Early America.
