In the Shadows of Slavery is a compelling program that uncovers the untold stories of forced labor endured by African Americans after the abolition of slavery. Through a powerful documentary and an engaging discussion, the program examines the new forms of involuntary servitude that emerged, trapping thousands in a cycle of oppression. Across both the North and South, many were unjustly arrested and forced to work without pay in a system that persisted for over 80 years. By exploring the lasting impact of this exploitation on American society, the program fosters a meaningful dialogue about this often-overlooked chapter in history.
