The promises of Reconstruction were left unfulfilled. The violent system of Jim Crow was being built in real time, brick by brick.

Voice actors will use letters, diaries, newspapers, and autobiographies to bring you stories from luminaries like Ida B. Wells-Barnett and W.E.B. DuBois, as well as everyday freedom fighters forging their own paths forward.
Dr. Kidada Williams' interviews with artists, activists, thinkers and historians will bring the themes of these stories to the present day and give us visions for free Black futures.
Seizing Freedom is a production of VPM and Molten Heart. For more info about the series, visit seizingfreedom.com.
