This episode of Jack Dappa Blues Radio is part two of my discussion with scholar Tyler D. Parry, Assistant Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies Program and Book Review Editor: Black Perspectives, about his co-authored journal and the upcoming book titled ' Slavehounds and Abolition".  Dr. Parry gives great detail of the role of the bloodhound before, during, and after slavery.  He delves into the origins of the purpose this hybrid animal was created,  where they were trained and how it's been utilized for centuries as a weapon against the freedoms and lives of the "Blues People" on America.
