Customer Reviews
Informative, enlightening and humbling
What a wonderful podcast. The real history you don’t learn in the classroom! The host gives exciting and engaging accounts of inspiring historical events! Thanks to this podcast I now know of the countless courageous black people throughout history who fought for black liberation and democracy that do not make the whitewashed history textbooks! Ida B Wells, Toussaint L’Ouverture, Sojourner Truth to name a few!
Excellent podcast with beautiful storytelling.
This is such a good podcast! The historical storytelling immerses you in the worlds of the people whose stories are being told. The Humanity Archive provides great insights and wisdom too. I’ve learnt so much from it and look forward to learning more.
Excellent
