EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, the hosts explore how historical incidents of violence against Black communities (such as the Tulsa and Rosewood massacres) are lost, minimized, or sanitized when the narrative is controlled by persons who place less value on the lives of people in those communities.

A FEW KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• The realities of eugenics and massacres in history
• How history books have been sanitized and students only get a partial picture of what events, some not even mentioned
• Things were no better at an earlier time. Rights, narratives, people being vilified, and movements against minorities are not new and give points of reference for contextualizing law. But it's important to get complete, accurate information.
