Show Notes
In 1811 after Haiti achieved the most successful slave revolt in history, the French were shook and their former colony of New Orleans was facing its own uprising. On the mainline with Black Heaven, Michael gets to the bottom of how a diverse population of Haitians, West Africans, and generational African-Americans secretly plotted and organized nearly 500 enslaved people to escape and kill their captors.
Drapetomaniax is created by Michael Harriot in collaboration between OtherTone, Sony Music Entertainment and Queer Media.
