This was the podcast I've been searching for. Love the episodes on Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes. The hosts were engaging and the storytelling was amazing. I couldn't pick sides and then...I didn't want the fight to end. Power to the people.
Solid five stars

Wonderful series about real lives of real people - unabashedly and delightfully about the history of Black Americans.
