Dr. Daniel Walker talks about the history of The Slave Pen at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati. Built in the early 1800s, it was recovered from a farm in Mason County, Kentucky, less than 60 miles from the Freedom Center. The structure was used as a holding pen by Kentucky slave trader, Capt. John W. Anderson, to temporarily keep enslaved people being moved farther south for sale. The slave pen played an integral role in the greater story of the internal slave trade in America.
