The life of Ernest Harding (my 2nd-great-granduncle) is marked by poverty and hardship, unfolding against the backdrop of the late 19th and early 20th century. From his challenging upbringing to his numerous brushes with the law, we explore Ernest’s complex family dynamics and his social stigmatization while navigating the New York State justice system, and his story reminds us of the complexities inherent in navigating personal redemption within the constraints of institutional structures and societal expectations.
Join us as we unravel the captivating saga of Ernest Harding and see how one individual’s life can impact the way we see our present reality.
