Slavery By Another Name Airs Tonight on PBS
Watch What it Meant to be a Convict on PBS. See more from Slavery by Another Name.
I’ve written quite a bit about the convict lease system on this blog and also about chain gangs. Below are just a few posts for those who are interested in the topic.
The Slaves of Turpentine: A First Hand Account of Convict Leasing
Resistance to Convict Lease System: First Hand Accounts by Women Reformers
Chain Gang Blues: Black Labor, New Slavery and Imprisonment
They Tell Me Joe Turner's Come And Gone: Music, Prison, and the Convict Lease System
I’ve seen the documentary and it is very very good. I highly recommend watching it on PBS tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern and 8 p.m. Central.
