[RERUN] EPISODE 79: Slavery

[RERUN] EPISODE 79: Slavery

Author: Daniele Bolelli June 2, 2025 Duration: 2:03:23
It was only a few generations ago when large numbers of people in United States saw nothing wrong with the notion of buying, selling and owning human beings. Weirder yet, some slave owners were masters in the mental gymnastics required to feel morally justified in enslaving members of their own families, including their own children. In this episode, I am joined by Darryl Cooper from The Martyrmade Podcast for a conversation about the institution of slavery.
