Full description

As a renowned historian hailing from Yale, you've dedicated yourself to following the 200-year-old footsteps of Philip Reid, an enslaved man who assisted sculptor Thomas Crawford in hoisting the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol's dome.

While you know that Reid was granted freedom by the Compensated Emancipation Act signed by Abraham Lincoln, his life before and after slavery remains a mystery. That is until an unexpected email arrives, urging you to search for a time capsule that holds the key to unlocking Reid's story.

The message, purportedly from a friend in The Land of The Rising Sun, presents a dilemma: is this a stroke of good luck or a well-laid trap? Determined to uncover the truth, you embark on a mission to unravel the secrets of a man who represents generations of African-Americans forced into bondage.
