À propos de cette écoute
In this episode, I'm joined by author Dr. Judith Giesberg to discuss her new book, Last Seen: The Enduring Search by Formerly Enslaved People to Find Their Lost Families, which follows 10 individuals as they search for family and friends from whom they were separated during America's domestic slave trade.
Listen in as we discuss the resilience and determination of formerly enslaved African Americans in their search for their families despite the many obstacles they faced; the challenges formerly enslaved veterans faced in proving their service and injuries to qualify for pensions; the impact of family separation on children—here's a horrific fact: 30% of nearly 4 million enslaved African Americans were younger than 10 when the Civil War began—and more.
