from Think Humanities · host Think Humanities
Have you heard of Elisha Green? Green was born a slave in Bourbon County circa 1818, became a popular preacher, bought his freedom, and won a legal case against the people who tried to get him to give up his seat on a train. Dr. Randolph Runyon is our guest on the THINK HUMANITIES podcast to talk about his two books, one that tells the story of Elisha Green and one about Madame Mentelle, who was Mary Todd Lincoln's teacher. THINK HUMANITIES is made possible by generous support from the Spalding University Sena Jeter Naslund-Karen Mann Graduate School of Writing.
