4th Of July, Protest, The Constitution and Slavery (Some Sunday Context)

This episode is part of our "Some Sunday Context" series where we are bringing you episodes from the archives and new conversations that try to give you a little historical perspective on current events. Today, an episode we recorded in 2021 about an anti-slavery protest in 1854, and how it brought up fundamental questions about our founding documents, freedom, and more. We'll be back with new episodes on Tuesday -- and don't forget to sign up for our newsletter for big new project coming soon!  Find out more at thisdaypod.com This Day In Esoteric Political History is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
