In the late 1800s, dozens of utopian communities with radical beliefs and unusual forms of self-government sprung up throughout the United States. And perhaps the most remarkable one of them all, a group of free Black people who were led by a king and a queen, was nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Featuring:

  • Dolen Perkins-Valdez, author of Happy Land
  • Fitz Brundage, historian and author of A Socialist Utopia in the New South
