David Cecelski, The Fire of Freedom

Season 15 Episode 1515 | 26m 46s  | Video has closed captioning.

David Cecelski’s book, The Waterman's Song, introduced us to Abraham Galloway an ex-slave from Wilmington who became an incredible leader of Blacks in North Carolina during the Civil War and later in state government. I became fascinated with Galloway and have waited a long time for David to tell me more with his new book, The Fire of Freedom: Abraham Galloway and the Slaves’ Civil War.
