Episode Synopsis

The preservation of cultural assets like plantations is really important, just like telling the stories about the big house or the grounds. But what about the less obvious things? In most plantations there's usually a back staircase that the house enslaved used or what about the fingerprints that they left in the bricks that support those houses. What's the story about the people who were enslaved there? Join in on a fascinating conversation with Joseph McGill, from the Slave Dwelling Project, as we uncover those often forgotten and untold stories, because now more than ever is the time to make sure that they get told.
