This episode was originally released in February of 2022.We are still enjoying our summer break but we decided to re-release some of our favorite episodes. This week we cover our first topic for Black History Month. Robert Smalls was an enslaved man working in Charleston Harbor when the American Civil War broke out. On one fateful night he gathered his family, friends and his wits when he attempted and succeeded at stealing a Confederate supply ship which he then sailed north to safety. Robert then returned to the area, but this time fighting for the Union. When the war was over, he kept on fighting as a Representative in the United States Congress.
