from Viewpoints Radio · host Ebony McMorris | AURN, Evan Rook, Gary Price, Marty Peterson

Imagine being born into slavery in the South. You have not a dime to your name, received no education and all you know are the surrounding fields of a plantation. What would you do after slavery is abolished? How would you start over? February is Black History Month. As we remember the past and the history of slavery in America, it’s important to not only take in the perspectives of historians and educators, but also direct firsthand accounts from the people who lived through this experience. Viewpoints’ speaks with historian and photographer, Richard Cahan, co-author of the new book River of Blood: American Slavery From the People Who Lived It.
