Journalist and writer Charu Kumarhia interviews Joe McGill, the founder of the Slave Dwelling Project.
McGill became interested in spending the night at former slave cabins and dwellings thru his work as a Civil War re-enacter. The work allows him to share the story of his own ancestors before the tales are lost forever. He’s stayed at dozens of slave quarters across the country and aims to represent all of American history to the public.
