The Sweetness of Water – At the end of the American Civil War, the war waged by Whites in Southern states to keep slavery legal, many were left questioning the direction and role in life. George and Isabelle Walker are private, well-respected common folk within the community of Old Ox who deal with the prospect of never seeing their son, Caleb, again. Another victim to the lost and futile cause of The War. Perhaps it was this loss that made them able to see Prentice and Landry, two newly freed brothers around the same age as Caleb, as somebody to give refuge. In this episode, we discuss relationship dynamics, resilience, gender dynamics, and the sacrifice of Black people.
