SLAVERY and SEGREGATION in MASSACHUSETTS: THE LAW of SHAW. . . . . . with Gregory Williams
As Chief Justice of Massachusetts's Supreme Judicial Court, Barnstable's Lemuel Shaw was the most influential state-court justice in 19th century America. He decided cases concerning enslaved people who'd arrived in "free soil" Massachusetts. . . as well as a school-desegregation case that engendered the "separate but equal" doctrine . . . . We begin, though, with the 17th-century colonies and the ship Desire. . . .
