Lemmon Slave Case Video Clip - Narrated by James Earl Jones (Teaser)

This is a teaser clip from the film that deals with the history of slavery in New York State and the critical role New York courts played in freeing eight enslaved young women and children who sailed into New York harbor with their owners from the South, a ruling that was in direct conflict with the 1857 U.S. Supreme Court Dred Scott decision. The film on the New York Lemmon Slave Case and its aftermath is narrated by Mr. James Earl Jones.
