The Black Widow of Hazel Green uncovers the life and times of Elizabeth Dale, a white cotton planter and enslaver in antebellum Alabama who was married six times and to this day is rumored to have murdered some or all of her husbands.
Her story spans our nation's history from the American Revolution to the Civil War and upends traditional narratives of power, gender, and white women's complicity within the institution of slavery.
