September 29, 2019 | Captain Kennedy; Sulpicians and Slavery

We're joined by Luke McCusker, managing director of the Irish Railroad Workers Museum in Baltimore, to discuss the history behind a Baltimore ship captain who once traded slaves, but donated money at the end of his life to support the training of Josephite priests who would minister to the African American community in the United States. Later in the show, we're joined by Sulpician Father Tom Ulshafer, who has researched his religious community's connection with slavery.
