what are the topics they are discussing?

For this episode, they discussed the history of slavery itself, the beginnings of slavery in Africa, the slave trade, one of the first African males in the Americas, a African girl by the slave name Priscilla and her modern day descendants, and now they're talking about how slaves built this nation and develop their own culture.

It's a lot...

But darn good...
