How the West was white washed

I love how this podcast bring humor to church. A great reminder that it’s okay to laugh and smile. I also appreciate how intentional the hosts are as it relates to offering diversity of various perspectives throughout each season. Interesting take on black history, I agree that black history should be included in American history and not relegated to just one month .

SJake057 ,
