Скачать или смотреть A Impossible Secret Of The Most Beautiful Male Slave Ever Auctioned

November 12, 1852. St. Louis Hotel, New Orleans. The most prestigious slave auction house in America. A man was brought to the block who was so extraordinarily beautiful that the crowd of wealthy planters literally gasped. Auction records describe him as "a male of such exceptional beauty that he appeared almost angelic." The bidding started at $500. Within minutes: $3,200—the highest price ever paid for a male enslaved person in New Orleans history. His name was Alexandre. He was 22 years old, spoke three languages, played piano, and carried a secret so impossible that it would only be discovered after his death, nearly two decades later. A secret that would cause a legal war and challenge everything 1850s society believed about bodies, gender, and identity.
