In the summer of 1860, Eliza Winston made history as the first enslaved person to fight for her freedom in court in the state of Minnesota. But Eliza herself is noticeably absent from the story. She left behind almost no paper trail.

In the latest episode of Minnesota Unraveled, host Dr. Chantel Rodríguez and her guests search for answers – who was Eliza Winston? Why was she in Minnesota, and what did her fight for freedom look like? Chantel is joined by poet Mary Moore Easter, author and professor Dr. Christopher Lehman, and Minneapolis public school teacher Jason Benjamin.
