In Season 1, Episode 1, the show’s “Rogue Scholar” Aífe Murray mentions Angeline Palmer, a Black girl in Amherst who was a contemporary of Emily Dickinson – and whose story highlights the vulnerability of “free” Black Americans at the time, and the ways they organized to defend themselves. We recorded a bonus episode (Dickinson Q & A: Black self-defense in the Yankee North — the story of Angeline Palmer) in which Aífe tells Angeline Palmer’s story in-depth, including the ways in which it intersects with that of the Dickinson family.

insane society has driven a few poor souls.
