Description
Dred and Harriet Scott, enslaved African Americans, played a major role in civil rights history, starting in 1846. This short video re-enacts a hypothetical conversation in which the couple discusses the risks to their family if they sue their enslaver for their freedom at the Old Courthouse... and those they face if they don't.
