45 minutes in to the podcast. Wow!!! I’m going to be binge watching your pbs show. A sentence to just said jumped out at me and I’m still reeling. I was driving so I couldn’t write it down, but basically what I heard was that the 50,000 plus people who escaped lives of enslavement by living in the swamp were doing it for a life that was a ‘little more free’. Again, wow.
We learn in our education that there were two states of being. Enslaved. And free. But that wasn’t true back then and isn’t true now. It’s hard for me to find words to express the notion of surviving what most people would consider unsurvivable, all with the HOPE of getting to live life (or your children or their children) a little more free.
I’m thinking about Palestinians now, too. What do they have to look forward to? Perhaps to a future where they are a little more free.
Love the "don't mess with boston" bit, and the rest of the analysis, from social media.
