On May 13, 1862, in Charleston, South Carolina, a man named Robert
Smalls took command of a Confederate ship called The Planter and
liberated himself and his family from enslavement. As they passed
the Confederate-held Fort Sumter, Robert Smalls was said to have
saluted it with a whistle, and then added an extra one, “as a
farewell to the confederacy.” Robert Smalls’ great-great-grandson,
Michael Boulware Moore, tells the story. Say hello on Twitter,
