On the last History Episode of Season Three, we pivot to discuss a topic we've seen quite a lot in the News lately, Residential Schools.  We've seen much coverage of the Canadian Residential School System, so Moxy will be breaking down the history of the United States' Residential School program. Mox will also be joined by friend and activist Alex Reid to discuss the Canadian Residential School tragedy, the LandBack Manifesto, and the often overlooked issues of today's Native People. 



 Thank you all so much for tuning in every Monday this season, it has been a pleasure and an honor.

On today's episode, Moxy gives the gang the run down on how the continuation of  racist policy undoes the little progress made for the enslaved populations  shortly after the Civil War of America and how without addressing the shortcomings that were manifested by the Government of that era and societal opinion, the oppressive nature simply changed to more cryptic ideology and their silent agreements that lead to curation of Sundown Towns. If a slave were to become a freed man, the tyranny they faced was that of bureaucratic exclusion, and negligence from a system and a people that purely relied on their exploitable existence up to this point.
