Caesar’s Story
Part 1
The Miller and His Apprentice
Caesar, the enslaved miller at Philipsburg Manor, and his young apprentice, Flip, are depicted by actors Keith E. Johnston and Zion Johnson. Caesar's skills made the mill profitable, yet only his enslaver, Adolph Philipse, made money from Caesar’s intense labor and expertise.
