The Haters: Slavery, Part I—Mistresses of Misery

Send us Fan MailIt's Season 2! This one's going to be hard and dark, and while it's a history we abhor, it is also one that is important to know. We're calling this season "The Haters" and focusing on the women involved in the dirtiest institutions of white supremacy. Starting right off the line with the kidnapping and enslavement of African people, we're learning that white women were deliberately and intricately involved in upholding slavery. It's going to take some time to sort through, so prepare yourself for some hard truths. Many thanks to the work of Stephanie Jones-Rogers and her book "They Were Her Property".
