“As a white person who didn’t even grow up here, I have a lot to learn about all the injustices that Black Americans have faced and still face today. Thank you for helping me learn, and for the great storytelling and journalism. The recording of the white farmer at the end of Episode 5 Part 2...”Read full review »

“I’m only on episode 2 but have learned some really big things. Unlearning too. Unlearning is even richer than learning - there are levels. How did I never know slaves were mortgaged, like houses? for example. Or that the bundled mortgages were sold as bonds? It really hit me that our country is...”Read full review »

“This situation(s) is actually something I’d think happened in eighteen hundred something. It is hard even to conceive that it IS SO modern. Yet simultaneously, not shocking, not surprising, and not sensible. Of all these such reports and the like that are so repetitive over so many centuries… I...”Read full review »

“I loved the history and powerful stories that felt so personal. These stories are validation of all the blatant and subtle ways that our people continue to be pushed down. I also loved how this made me know for facts that we are in so many ways brain washed. However it’s a 2-edged sword because...”Read full review »

“This is an attempt to rewrite the narrative of the founding of the union. To say that the reason for founding the US was to maintain slavery is to simply replace facts with ideology. Gone is an aspirational narrative of the founders, replaced with ignorance and cynicism. This is a case study for...”Read full review »
