Rebellious Passage: The Creole Revolt and America's Coastal Slave Trade

In 1841, more than 130 slaves on the Creole were bound for New Orleans from Richmond, VA. Rebellious Passage: The Creole Revolt and America's Coastal Slave Trade tells the story of how this ship returned five weeks later minus the Captain, one passenger, and most of its captives. Author Jeffrey Kerr-Ritchie joins editor Debbie Gershenowitz for the second episode of our Black History Month podcast series. Rebellious Passage: The Creole Revolt and America's Coastal Slave Trade is available now.
