This is the first episode of three which will be dedicated to the Water's Edge Museum located in Oxford, Maryland. As the museum's website states, The Water’s Edge Museum was established to tell the story of "...The Founding Black Families of America who harnessed knowledge and power, and placed it firmly and confidently into the hands of their descendants." Oxford was chosen as the location for the museum due to Oxford being the only documented arrival port for the Middle Passage, one of the trade routes during the years of the American and European slave trade.
In this episode, Jeff and Randy are joined (once again!) by Dr. Clara Small to discuss just what the Middle Passage actually was.
