Thanks for joining us for this re-released episode from our podcast’s first season, which has now been re-branded as FACETnating History. From time-to-time, we’ll be re-releasing our first season episodes just in case you haven’t had a chance to listen to them.
In this episode, Escaping Vacation, we’ll be exploring the experience of the enslaved who found opportunity to escape their enslavers, once referred to as “masters,” while on vacation with them — of course, the enslaved were there to serve, not relax.
