(1/28/21) We often think of slavery as a southern phenomenon, far removed from the booming cities of the North. But even though slavery had been outlawed in Gotham by the 1830s, Black New Yorkers were still far from safe. In his latest book, The Kidnapping Club: Wall Street, Slavery, and Resistance on the Eve of the Civil War, historian Jonathan Daniel Wells tells the story of the powerful network of judges, lawyers and police officers who circumvented anti-slavery laws to allow the kidnapping of both free and fugitive African Americans. Join us for a sobering look at this terrible chapter of the city’s history in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
