In this episode of Dis A fi mi History Podcast, we dive into the fascinating world of genealogist and historian Dr. Jeff Nebecker-Johnson. Join us as we explore the life of Spotswood Rice, a man whose journey from slavery to freedom is chronicled through heartfelt letters. Dr. Nebecker-Johnson discusses his research and the personal connections he uncovered along the way.

Learn about Spotswood Rice's courageous transformation from a slave to a Civil War soldier and eventually a minister, dedicated to his faith and family. This episode delves into the historical and emotional significance of Rice's letters, which boldly addressed both his daughters and their former enslavers.

Discover how Rice redefined fatherhood under the harsh conditions of slavery and found empowerment through military service, shaping his identity and understanding of freedom. As we uncover personal stories and extend the conversation beyond borders, this episode invites listeners to reflect on the past, learn from history, and appreciate the resilience and strength of ancestors.                                                                                                                                                     Book  https://www.amazon.ca/Property-Benjamin-Lewis-Biography-Spottswood-ebook/dp/B0BLGF29NZ
