I’ve been evangelizing about this with my friends and family, as I did several other Into America series in the past. Lee is a brilliant historian and storyteller. And THIS is the story America has tried not to tell since the ink dried on the Emancipation Proclamation. Almost instantly, the...Read full review »

I am a 72 yr. Old white woman living in New England ( predominantly white) . I am so incredibly enriched by what Tremain is putting into our consciousness. I have learned so much listening to his programs. I cannot thank him enough for his tremendously important work. Reparations to the slave...Read full review »

Surprising little known history with direct relevance to the current movement for reparations. A smart analysis of the issues today and actions for resolution.

I’ve been following and listening to Into America with Trymaine Lee since the inception. I absolutely love his voice and love when he’s a guest on MSNBC. This is a fascinating series.

Tremaine Lee’s intellect, eloquence, and his sense of service to America is truly remarkable. The reparations “series” shows the depth of his treatment of critical issues. He make complicated topics accessible and uncovering their relevance and impact on us all.

Ta-Nehisi Coates statement to the Senate was terrific. Those who lie about the past are certain to twist the truth about the present and the future. This is the way democracy is lost. Here’s looking at you Trump. Reparations is an essential part to seeing our nation’s past as it truly was. Let’s...Read full review »

This was an emailing educational series. The study of reparations told in an honest historic way.

I’m new to the world of podcast but I’m catching on and now following some really interesting podcasts, which includes my new favorite, “into america”.

The education that I received from listening to this podcast has added to the perseverance my own family has given me. Thank you this powerful story. As descendants of people who built this country, we deserve the respect that has been denied.
BoldBraveHeart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
Entertaining and educational. Best podcasts out there.
BG2000TRIUMPH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
Excellent. Well done and compelling content This helped me to begin to understand what reparations could do not only for descendants of the enslaved but for our democracy as a whole. Thank you
tartme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
An amazing project by Mr Lee! Following this family through history and their story should be inspiring to all.
WLIOBF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
Well done

An informative and moving account of an aspect of American history that most of us were not taught. Great work!
ChrisLHutson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/24
Into America since its inception has been some of the most informative, inspiring, moving to compassion, investigative reporting in a podcast that I have come across in the podcast era! Always in rotation of my top five. Trymaine one of my fave reporters ever. Uncounted Millions just exceptional...Read full review »

I cried this morning. I never met Dr. John Louis Flateau, but grief swam over me as though I lost my uncle. The nation did us a disservice when they buried this critical part of history. I just learned of this family; a family whose story should be part of the nation's story. Dear White...Read full review »

By leveraging one American family’s story, Lee humanizes the impact of slavery and Jim Crow in a way that should help anyone understand the case for reparations for Black American descendants of the enslaved. This is an engaging and impactful podcast that could easily be used in a history class.
libgrrl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/24
The new uncounted millions feature has left me in tears. Thank you for sharing history that many had no idea about.
Andre Marcel Harris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/24
Maybe learn your own history before you try to rewrite it. Research the transatlantic slave trade & explain to me why ppl who never owned slaves, need to pay money to ppl that never were slaves, who's ancestors sold their own ppl into slavery? Y'all need to stop trying to get money...Read full review »

This series is excellent! I’ve learned so much just from the first 4 episodes and gained invaluable insight into the true history, harm, complexity, and generational experience and impact right up to today. This series should serve as a source providing a foundation for all reparations...Read full review »

I have been a faithful follower of Trymaine Lee and Into America for several years, but his latest podcast project, Uncounted Millions, is next level! In this new series, Lee takes us on a trip to “discover an untold story of freedom and reparations.” Three installments in, this series is...Read full review »

Perhaps at times this show could be more enjoyable if it was better narrated and produced, and offered a more holistic overview rather than attempting to skew history to suit its own viewpoints. To add insult to injury honesty it was further ruined in advance by the mass marketing used to bring...Read full review »

The Asante Empire in Ghana exported slaves and used the profits to import gold. Between 1525 and 1866, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to North America, the Caribbean and South America, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database. Only about 10.7 million survived the dreadful journey...Read full review »

This podcast is a must listen. It will open your mind to question how history was thought
Fernando Houston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
The level of education that this podcast provides is insurmountable. This is the history that the right wing is trying so desperately to ban. This is the history that, without a doubt, would help all Americans come to the conclusion of Reparations NOW!
samm1203 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
I really enjoyed this series! The journalistic style and story style reminded me of when I first heard the 1619 project. I was on the edge of my car seat the entire series, as I commuted to work this morning. The added interest was hearing the “Landry”name. The Newly elected governor is a...Read full review »

Educational, well produced and truly captivating. I’m thankful for the topics featured on this program.
LaLunaLebon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
This series makes a strong case for reparations by contrasting two branches of the same family & showing how legacy & inheritance makes the difference of night and day in every human life. Thank you for opening my eyes.
ashleyclairerovira via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/29/24
It would be illegal to abandon a domestic dog into the streets with no food, water or means to survive . To even think that the enslaver deserved to be compensated for loss of property is mind blowing. The USA government owes the descendants of slaves money. The USA was built off of...Read full review »

Thank you so much for this. It literally proves how much better off the U.S. would be if reparations were in place then (AND now!) It is NOT too late it’s never too late and it would be the best thing to help heal history’s terrible stain. The Republican Senator from Kentucky - today’s minority...Read full review »

From my privileged, white, male, boomer perspective, there is no substitute for access to insight that is far outside my personal experience. Reparations seems such an obvious necessity, despite all the reasons not to pursue it. As hard as it looks to know exactly what to do, doing nothing...Read full review »

I live in London and I listened to an advertisement for this podcast , what an absolute delight, informative, thought provoking and it’s definitely puked at my heart strings . Thankyou
Arranhouse via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/22/24
We should be taught that slave owners were the ones who received reparations and NOT the slaves themselves!! We should be taught that there were black Americans who did get some sort of reparations due to purchasing their own family members out of slavery. It’s sad that we don’t get accurate...Read full review »

Thank you, Mr Lee for introducing the world to Mr. Coakly. I’ve been sharing these episodes with my brother. We are mesmerized by this historical figure. As a Washingtonian, I’ve never heard of him and I think we all should know his story simply because he truly exhibited the American mythology...Read full review »
