    Applause to the fierce and often uncredited women, who contributed to the Civil Rights Movement, like Claudette Colvin, Gloria Richardson, and countless others.

    The Shadow Of The Railroads
    Aug 1 2025

    Unearth the buried truths of the Transcontinental Railroad in American history. This episode powerfully distinguishes the vital role of Chinese immigrants who built the tracks from the profound impact on Indigenous communities whose lands were seized and altered by its path.

    This isn't just history. It's legacy. If this episode resonates with you, we encourage you to learn, unlearn, and see the railroads as more than just lines across land – they are scars, and they are songs. Discover the untold legacy of injustice and resilience.

  • The Ink & Iron

    The Ink & Iron
    Jul 18 2025

    It’s time for us to visit the heart of Chicano resistance in this episode, "The Ink and Iron"! We're not just exploring history; we're learning the unyielding power of prison poetry from icons like Raul Salinas and Enriqueta Vasquez, who knew the inside of places like Soledad Prison. This is where tales of injustice meet resilience, and the fierce fight for land and identity transforms paper into the ultimate weapon of freedom. Let the echoing cadence of marching footsteps, the vibrant energy of slam poetry, and the nostalgic crackle of old radio broadcasts transport you to a period when words carved out liberation from behind bars.
