Tue, Sept 22 – What does it mean to be truly free? In 1882, the drowning deaths of nineteen chained convicts in North Carolina exposed the brutal exploitation of the convict leasing system—a practice that continued the oppression of slavery long after its legal abolition. Join host John Bradshaw as he examines a dark chapter in American history, when freedom was a legal promise but not a lived reality, and draws a powerful spiritual parallel to the freedom we can find through Christ. That’s Tuesday at 8 a.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. CDT on It Is Written.
