Who told you John Brown was crazy? Less than 5% of high school students know who John Brown was or the role he played in ending slavery. Why? Because for decades, the story of American history wasn’t told by the people who lived it—it was shaped by an intentional campaign to erase radical justice.   In this episode of Trey’s Table, we break down:  The deliberate rewriting of history by organizations like the United Daughters of the Confederacy    John Brown’s true legacy beyond the "fanatic" label    Why the fight over classroom textbooks in the 1900s explains the political division we see today   If you don’t tell your own story, someone else will tell it for you.   🎧 Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you stream Trey’s Table.

In 1935, Sinclair Lewis wrote It Can’t Happen Here—a chilling novel about a populist demagogue who promises every citizen cash payouts, rallies anti-immigrant fervor, and steadily dismantles democracy from within.
Lewis wasn’t just writing fiction; he was issuing a warning.
On the latest episode of Trey’s Table, we examine the life and work of Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. From his sharp critique of American fascism to his groundbreaking 1947 novel Kingsblood Royal—inspired by his close friendship with NAACP leader Walter White—we break down why Lewis’s words are more urgent today than ever.
