If people saw that slavery was getting started, why didn't they stop it?

Season 2, Ep. 2

In this episode, we’ll be digging into a question asked by a third grade student at the Cottage - "If people saw that slavery was getting started, why didn't they stop it?" Come down the rabbit hole with us as we talk to a historian of colonial Virginia, staff at the historic site of the 1619 landing, a former colleague, and two anti-racist facilitators.
