Days after Maryland abolished slavery, her former enslaver had her re-indentured under a sham \"apprenticeship\" law used to seize Black children. Elizabeth’s mother—and thousands of other parents—refused to accept it.  In this second episode of By the People , legal scholar Lyle Cherneff guides Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern through a Union Army general's archive of letters that documented the plight of Black parents who petitioned, marched, and filed habeas corpus claims to win their children back. These parents read the new constitutional guarantees of freedom for themselves, and demanded they be enforced, long before any Supreme Court told them what those words meant. The resulting case, In re: Turner , helped end the practice of racialized child \"apprenticeship\" and shaped the meaning of the 13th and 14th amendments. But the parents who fought for it were nearly written out of the story. In this episode, we seek to restore that record, tracing a direct line from their fight to ordinary Americans’ resistance to ICE raids today.   By the People is Slate’s end-of-term project exploring how ordinary Americans have shaped the meaning of the Constitution outside the Supreme Court.
