What an episode! This week we go back to 1839 to attend the birth of a young Black man named Robert Smalls. We watch him grow and learn how he loved the sea, how he came to work on a Coinfederate Navy Ship called the Planter and how, in the dead of night, he stole that ship, picked up his family and the families of his crewmates and guided the ship to the Union Blockade and in doing so became a hero. He later bought his former 'master's' home and became a member of Congress in this man we love learning, never judge a book by it's cover or a man by his skin color episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
