Most of us are familiar with Southern slavery, but there is not much history available from the other side of the Mason-Dixon line. Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina reveals little-known stories of the trials African-Americans faced in the Northern states at this turbulent time in history.

Gretchen shares the story of Lucy and Abijah Prince, a couple pursuing the American dream at a time when their skin color dictated they were less than citizens. Celebrate Black History Month on your show with their
inspirational story.
