A comprehensive podcast on black history and black issues around the world. You’ll hear about subjects in black history that you won’t find in your average history curriculum. Each story is told in an entertaining narrative fashion that’s easy to listen to. I used to get bored in history class too. But black history is far from boring. The rich tapestry of experience that makes up the diaspora deserves its attention and that’s the mission of this podcast: bringing black history from around the world to average people.
