This sounds… interesting. I assume since Frederick Douglass is being portrayed they will discuss the settlement of Timbuctoo, NY. It’s a really amazing bit of abolitionist history.

That almost makes me wish I had a television again. But I’ll wait until a boxed set appears. John Brown is very much a neglected hero, IMO, and should be properly celebrated. I can get behind the “no reply” issue too. It’s been six years since my daughter contacted me.

This show seems to be pissing off all the right people so I’m totally on board.
