About
The Robbins House in Concord, Massachusetts was the home of Caesar Robbins, who while enslaved served in the American Revolution and whose descendants continued to advocate for equality and justice.
In this episode, host Patrice Todisco and The Robbins House Executive Director Jen Turner chronicle three generations of a visionary and hugely determined Black family. This moving and evocative story about perseverance and the meaning of freedom begins with Caesar and ends with a woman who committed one of the earliest acts of Black Civil Disobedience.
