In this episode, John Ericson, Executive Director at St Luke’s Historic Church & Museum, interviews Dr. Amy Stallings, Adjunct Professor of History at the College of William & Mary, on the enduring lessons of Bacon’s Rebellion. Dr. Stallings is also a public Historian who portrays Lady Berkeley, the wife of Virginia Governor Sir William Berkeley.
