Video Length: 4:32

Presented by Vassar College in collaboration with Celebrating the African Spirit, Vassar's Hidden History series examines the untaught and occluded history of racial oppression in the United States and the roots of injustice. CAS and Hidden History have similar aims. Both acknowledge that we must examine the past as a way to achieve a more equitable future. Here, Vassar spotlights CAS and its efforts to expose a truth that continues to shock many: That slavery existed and flourished in the Hudson Valley until the early 19th Century.
