Preventing The Unthinkable

How Slavery Shaped Cape Cod

This week on the Upper Cape Catch, host and producer Gilda Geist delves into the history of slavery on Cape Cod. Many New Englanders think of American slavery as a southern problem, but the truth is that the economy of slavery made Cape Cod what it is today. They say those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it—in that case, you might want to give this episode a listen.
