Helen Keller

Helen Keller was more than a passive figurehead that simply overcame her deafness and blindness--she spent her life fighting on behalf of the disabled, and when she realized the ties between poverty, bad working conditions, and disabilities, she fought hard and unpopular battles to improve working conditions and fight against socioeconomic inequality.

The title of this review is taken from a comment made by the show’s creator, Mian Osumi, and that’s really what this show is all about. Its particular focus is on diving into the often overlooked details of moments/ personalities in the history of progressive politics and recovering unpolished gems. Stuffy historical stories become more vibrant. Personalities become more complex. More importantly, both become more relevant. Mian makes no pretense of having any scholarly expertise. She is a student with a love for learning and that is what is so refreshing here. It’s an exciting journey of discovery and everyone is invited along to share the ride. Indeed, history really is so cool.
