Review of A Small Southern Town: The Nation's Capital In Slave Times

This program was so awe-inspiring. So much more than dramtic readings. It truly gave you a personal feeling of what truly went on in slavery times in OUR OWN BACKYARD. A must add to your programming for anytime of the year.

Review of A Small Southern Town: The Nation's Capital In Slave Times

A well-crafted example of using a personal account to present an historical event with broader overtones in an engaging, infomational manner.

Review of A Small Southern Town: The Nation's Capital In Slave Times

I am a fan of learning history through real human stories. I was worried when I read " dramatization" - but it's not overly so at all. It's more an evocative reading of various accounts, first person and historical, woven with present day inference and confirmation. Intelligent work, nicely edited, abundant sfx. Perfect for black history month/issues. vm
