Moving Midway

Robert Hinton

Robert Hinton grew up near an old mansion off a highway in Raleigh, N.C. - never knowing that his own ancestors had once been slaves there. Godfrey Cheshire's ancestors were the slave owners - and he grew up playing games in the spooky old house.

A few years ago, the two men came together after Godfrey learned that the house was going to be moved to a different location.

That move unearthed an unknown family history and helped both Robert and Godfrey better understand their personal connections to slavery.
