In a new book from Temple University Press, "Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America," Philadelphia Inquirer writer Murray Dubin and Philadelphia Inquirer editor and Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Biddle tell the story of Octavius Valentine Catto, a 19th century, southern-born, 'free' black man who moved north. In Philadelphia, he was a teacher at an African American school, a second baseman on Philadelphia's black baseball team and became a civil rights pioneer who spent his life educating newly freed slaves, long before the modern civil rights era. Dubin and Biddle discussed Catto's life and work with host Marty Moss-Coane.
