Episode Synopsis "Dot Redford speaking at Seminar V in Columbia, NC"

Fellows had the opportunity to sit at the feet of a tremendous leader in North Carolina. Dot Redford is a courageous, activist and overall force of nature who made Somerset Place a reality. Over twenty years, she transformed a state-owned historic plantation that showcased only the home of the white owners, to one that showcases the lives of the enslaved people who lived, worked and died there. By reconstructing buildings, and unearthing the day to day realities of the enslaved people, she "eliminated the option of not seeing them."
