The Fugitive: An Uncivil Episode on Slavery, Freedom, and History.
Today, more than presenting you a Podcast I present you an episode of Uncivil, show in which journalists, researchers and professors Jack Hitt and Chenjerai Kumanyika despoil the official version of the Civil War; secret operations, mutiny, corruption and the relationship these conflicts have in modern politics.
The first episode, titled The Fugitive, places us in the late 18th-century Pennsylvania where Ona Judge, an enslaved African-American woman, has a complex decision to take: follow the orders of her owner and return to Virginia where she will be gifted to his granddaughter, or run away to find freedom.
Ona escapes and her owner chases her. The name of her owner? George Washington, first president of the United States of America.
This award-winning podcast reminds us that there’s still a lot left forgotten in history, and therefore, a lot left to learn.
