On today’s story we talk about a small town murder in the 1950’s and the trail of crazy events that follow. We fall into a web of sex, lies, and gunshots that would ultimately leave investigators chasing answers for over 50 years. #TrueCrime #LaPistolera #SharonKinne

Today we talk about the first Black president in the Americas—Vicente Guerrero—the Afro-Mexican revolutionary who abolished slavery, shook the elite, and was essentially erased from history (outside of Mexico).

Today we walk through the wild history of 15th century Japan during the Sengoku era and learn the story of a powerful warlord who appointed the first & only Black samurai in Japanese recorded history.

What happens when a man born in chains takes one impossible idea, one golden opportunity, and quite literally runs with it? History happens.

On today’s episode, we go back to the early 1900's as we tell the story of an "exotic" beauty — a nasty dancer, dancer for money, a woman who walked so Rachel Dolezal could run.

It’s buried beneath war, paranoia, and a nation desperate for a villain.
