The Capital of Slavery w/ Gerald Horne

This week on the show we are joined by historian Gerald Horne, whose recent book, "The Capital of Slavery: Washington DC 1800-1865" explores the early history of the capital city of the United States and the role of enslaved people in how it was built; both in terms of the hands that did the labor to build its edifices and monuments, and in terms of how fear of free Black people shaped the law, policy, and governance of the District, in ways that echo today.
