External Site: The History of American Slavery[info]
Nine episode podcast series about the history of American slavery presented by Slate Magazine. Each episode is told from the point of view of a particular enslaved person, and takes a chronological approach in order to show how the institution of slavery changed over time. Presented by journalists Rebecca Onion and Jamelle Bouie, the series also features contributions from historians. There is a range of interesting supplementary materials, including an interactive animation which gives a powerful sense of the scale of the trans-Atlantic slave trade across time.
