Welcome, you’re listening to an episode of the crisis and catharsis podcast where we explore stories that show how people face times of crisis, focusing on artistic expression like literature, music and art, but also the daily activities like cuisine and stories. This episode focuses on the Professor Robert Chase’s Book, We Are Not Slaves. I’m Fernie, a history PhD student at Stony Brook University and I’m here with Professor Robert Chase.
Immediately following the murder of Mr. George Floyd Americans took to the streets to voice their support, sorrow, frustration, anger, and disappointment in a manner and magnitude that people of my generation have not seen, and America has not seen, since the Civil Rights era. In the midst of a global pandemic no less! Current events have me thinking back to our early beginnings as a collection of provincial colonies clustered along the North American coast. The First Amendment protects our most valuable rights: religion, speech, and the ability to protect these rights through peaceful assembly and petition.
