After being sold to a slaver, Shadrach Minkins reportedly fled Norfolk by taking a boat to Boston. Webster and Cheikh talk to historian Cassandra Newby-Alexander about the famous Underground Railroad — the secret network used by abolitionists to help enslaved people escape their “owners” and those sent to track them down. Historian Troy Valos also discusses John Capehart, the slave catcher sent after Shadrach, a man widely described as sadistic, brutal, and extremely violent.
