Show Notes
In Savannah, Georgia, a poignant ceremony honored the Weeping Time, the largest slave auction in the states history. Four hundred twenty-nine enslaved individuals were sold at the Ten Broeck Race Course in 1859. A historical marker now stands near the site, and a ceremony at Otis Brock Elementary, built on the old race course grounds, remembers the event. Thirty blue chairs represent the children sold, with a teddy bear for fifteen-day-old Valentine and her mother. The event ensures the four hundred twenty-nine souls are not forgotten.
