Created Equal

Black Americans searching for employment during the Civil War is not something we often think about. Massachusetts was known as a free state during this time, which made African Americans living in Boston not part of the enslaved population in the United States. But when it comes down to knowing what the word "free" really means, many Americans may not know the full story. Author Jacqueline Jones joined "Created Equal" host Stephen Henderson to discuss what African American lives were like from the perspective of freedom versus slavery.
