Meet with Robert Carter III, who, in 1791, owned more enslaved individuals than any other Virginian. His inner struggles and newfound faith led him to an extraordinary decision, followed by an equally remarkable action. Knowing what is right and doing it was just as difficult in the 18th century as it is today, but not to those who truly believe that "all things are possible."
