"...the open dialogue in Heirs of Enslavement demonstrates why we must reckon with slavery’s enduring impact. Within only the first episode, this show gives us such a diverse range of experiences within Grenada’s history....stories of the real impact slavery had. Confronting that truth may be the only way to mend its persisting wounds. "
