Our past isn’t static—what stories we tell about our history depend on who’s doing the telling. On this episode, we look at three ways of reclaiming narratives, talking with comedian Negin Farad (author of “How to Make White People Laugh”), hearing from historian Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz (author of “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States”), and discussing the legacy of baller and brawler blueswoman Bessie Smith.
