Tiffany Jackman- Producer of the Anthony Crawford Documentary, found on Kweli TV streaming service.
I had the privilege of interviewing the producer of a documentary about a man that many don't really know about. His name was Anthony Crawford. Anthony Crawford was wealthy land owner in South Carolina. He had over 400 acres of land that he used to plant cotton and a variety of fruit. Unfortunately he was sadly murdered, his land taken and his family ran out of town. So sad to imagine that happening to anyone, let alone a Black man who achieved the dream of buying that much land, despite slavery. Check out the episode for more info. Enjoy
