Powerful and Moving: History Rhymes

“I’ve listened to the first two episodes of “History Is Us” and I am really moved. These two episodes connect historical events and trends from the period of reconstruction (1865-1876) and its failure (1876-1890s) and then in the period of the rise of the Jim Crow era, on the one hand, to the present era. Glaude provides his own commentary and interviews specialists who talk to us not as if we are specialists who have read tons of fat books with footnotes, but as people who have a vague idea of what really happened in American history.
When I studied American history in high school, it was completely whitewashed. For example, I learned about the Tulsa Massacre only 2-3 years ago (I’m writing this review in June 2022). I knew about many of the events described in the reconstruction and post-reconstruction era and many more in the beginning of the Jim Crow era, periods described in these first two episodes, but there were many more events in those periods I didn’t know about and - more importantly - I hadn’t connected those events to things going on RIGHT NOW and in the past several years.
Dr. Glaude connects the dots, following in the tradition of Prof. Nikole Hannah-Jones with her groundbreaking work, “The 1619 Project,” which I also loved.
“History Is Us” is just as groundbreaking as “1619” and I can’t wait to listen to the next episodes to drop so I can learn more and be better informed about how history is rhyming right now and right here in the US.”
