The Hush Harbors: Secret Worship, the Exodus Story & Nat Turner
Enslaved men and women risked whippings and death to pray in secret. In the swamps and thickets of the antebellum South, they built hidden worship spaces called hush harbors - and there they created something entirely their own.
This episode of Sankofa Chronicles: A Black History Podcast goes deep into the world of the hush harbor, drawing on the work of historian Albert Raboteau and firsthand accounts from formerly enslaved people like Peter Randolph and Wash Wilson. Discover the coded songs, the lookouts, and the upside-down pot that muffled the sound of secret prayer meetings.
