I really enjoyed your candid conversation about slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries as well as the connections to understanding privilege today. It was interesting to learn about the story of Jane and her son from a receipt of sale; this is exactly the kind of fragmentary evidence that historians have to use to reconstruct the past. Lastly, your connections to the present offered profound insight into understanding white privilege and the significance of understanding history to inform the present. Great episode!
