Two men in rural Virginia agree to the sale and purchase of a horse. Both men are Black. The year? 1660.

A story that leaves us with the lingering sense that things might not have turned out quite as they did.

This is the podcast version of my post, A Black Craigslist: 1660, based on T.H.Breen and Stephen Innes's classic book, Myne Own Ground.
