Free Money: The Legacy of Freedman’s Bank with Historian Justene Hill Edwards

University of Virginia historian Justene Hill Edwards gave Caleb and Greg “a strong B” on their podcast episode about Freedman's Savings Bank. Nevertheless, they were eager to learn more about this Reconstruction Era fraud. Dr. Edwards’s new book, “Savings and Trust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman’s Bank” tells the story in rigorous detail, the effects of which have repercussions to this day.
