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