'We Were Once A Family' Explores the Devastating Murder of Six Black Adoptees By Their White Parents

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Apr 20, 2023

Two white women, Jennifer and Sarah Hart, adopted six Black children. Later, they murdered the children by driving the entire family off a cliff. A new book explores not just the Hart family, but the conditions that allowed for their adoptions to go through despite allegations of abuse. It also tells the stories of the birth families of these children, and how they lost custody despite all efforts to keep their kids. Journalist and author Roxanna Asgarian joins us to discuss her book We Were Once A Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America.
