One couple's remarkable escape from slavery
In 1848 Ellen Craft, an enslaved woman in Macon, Georgia, feared that her father – who was her White enslaver – would claim any child she bore as his property. And so, she and her husband, also enslaved, embarked on a remarkable ruse: Fleeing the South, she masqueraded as a male White slaveowner accompanied by his slave. Correspondent Mark Whitaker talks with Ilyon Woo, author of Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom, and with Peggy Preacely, the couple's great-great-granddaughter.
