In this Patreon exclusive episode, Katie shares the story behind the African Cemetery located at Higgs Beach in Key West.


In 1860, three slave ships were intercepted en route to Cuba and diverted to Key West. While most of the African refugees onboard were eventually transported to Liberia, 295 died in Key West. Their graves now comprise the only known cemetery in the U.S. of African refugees during the international slave trade.
