Helping us expand our knowledge of Long Island, NY history, Kevin Boston-Hill speaks with Claire Bellerjeau, who, with Tiffany Yecke Brooks, authored the book, "Remember Liss - The Remarkable True Story of One Woman's Enslavement and Freedom in New York". The book introduces us to Elizabeth, or Liss as she is called, a black woman from Oyster Bay, NY, during the Revolutionary War Era. Through her "Forrest Gump"-like journey, we are given a unique look into the events that unfold during America's fight for freedom as Liss and thousands of slaves did the same.
