This program completely erases the Jewish contribution to the civil rights movements. Like the SNCC, SLPC was founded, funded, and lead by Jews. And just as the Young Militants kicked Jews out of the SNCC, the neo-Young Militants at the SPLC are kicking Jews out of their own history.

I am having such a time listening and learning the new things I’m learning from this show and I’m 28 years old. If I had teachers like you guys coming up the possibilities would’ve been endless. But I do pride myself in always being a student so I am a student of yours now and I love it here!...Read full review »

Thank you Dr Jeffries, and all of your co-presenters, for such a valuable resource! Our homeschooling family is in your debt. I was finally moved to write a review while listening to your renditions of classic TV themes from the 70s-80s—ah-mazing 😄Thanks for keeping it smart, real and...Read full review »

Wonderful information and “truth telling” in history. Much needed!

I found the podcast combing the SPLC site for resources. You all get 5 stars, just for doing this. I’ll come back with a proper review when I’ve done some listening. But THANK YOU!

“White people bad.” There, now you can skip this podcast and spend your time more productively listening to the many fantastic history podcasts out there.

This show is great I’m not an American. Im from South Africa but I get insight into history in a way that’s not biased and gives great advice for teachers on how to deliver this material.

Mostly opinion being presented as historical fact
Omar Muhammad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/21
Get information that gets you too thinking. Definitely good to have a pen and paper for notes and secondary searches into the topics. Love the delivery!

An incredible resource for educators - I wish my teachers growing up had listened! And a fascinating and thorough listen for anyone who wants to learn more about these crucial topics.
Shark_Meat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/21
I have recommended this podcast to all of my colleagues at my school. This is such an important podcast for anyone teaching American history, but especially those in k-6 because that is where myths about America get cemented.
bdupuis31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/21
This is truly one of the greatest resources for a social science teacher. Not only are the podcasts incredibly well researched and interesting to listen to but the resources and the instructional ideas are priceless. Listening to this podcast has a really informed and bolstered my instruction.

I’ve been listening since season 1 and have learned so much. I feel blessed to have found this resource. Hasan Kwame Jeffries takes us on a historical journey —one that my 45 year old self has desperately needed. Thank you Professor Jeffries.
RayFink via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/20
The hosts on this show find stories that are little known and so critical to understand the history of America, and how it was built on the enslavement of Africans and Indigenous people. I'm a professor of anthropology in Canada and have been learning a tremendous amount. I have also found it...Read full review »
MJH in Vancouver via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/09/20
This podcast should be required for every educator—especially K-12 teachers—in America. Beyond that, this is essential listening for every American. We cannot move forward and make a better America without understanding how this country was built and how we continue to benefit from slavery today....Read full review »

While I am not an educator not a student at the moment, I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and what it offers in helping understand history in a different light. It doesn’t hold back on presenting information that is oftentimes intentionally omitted or watered down in society and institutions at...Read full review »

This is a must-listen for anyone who teaches American History, but also anyone who wants to do better, in terms of understanding our past and reshaping the future. I will be sharing with my colleagues and social media groups and I hope they really choose to give it a go!

Wow. I have just been introduced to my white privilege. What a wonderful podcast to amplify what we have missed, guide us to stop harming, and put an end to the blindness we have perpetuated.

I enjoy this podcast immensely and can’t wait for more fresh episodes!

Thank you for providing me with the tools and knowledge to better teach my diverse classroom. When we know better, we do better.

A while ago I realized I wanted to be a teacher. Shortly after that, I realized I wanted to be a History Professor. As I’ll be going to college soon, I set out to do research on history. After running into this one and realizing the different methods educators put on “hard history” is truly...Read full review »

To be a mixed man with black and white races, I face a biased opinion on how to teach young people about the TRUTH to slavery. The conversation the Professor had with his daughter burned my chest... the silence after her response to learning of slavery broke my heart. Hands down every episode was...Read full review »

Every second of this series on Teaching American Slavery is brimming with incredible knowledge; it is knowledge no one can take away from you and knowledge you will be moved to share as far as you can.

Powerful. Professor Christy Clark-Pujar is incredible.

I am captivated by this podcast and am listening to all the episodes and listening again to several because there is so much to take in and absorb. I’m learning so much that I didn’t growing up.

There has been no better resource for a teacher when they approach the sensitive topic of slavery. The insights provided by the various historians have shaped how I will teach the subject as well as provided insights on how the nation as a whole was complicit in the institution of slavery.

CM Frustrated via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/19
This is historical thinking at its best, taking a complex subject when there’s little room in classrooms to understand the complexity, and asking us to slow down and think through a lot of myths and assumptions about the subject, but also about teaching the subject.

One of my top two favorite podcasts; but why won’t my two favorite episodes play?
Michelle and Doug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/18
I grew up in an environment where the kids saw presentations by historians like Lerone Bennett Jr, and John Hope Franklin, and not all the presenters were men, either. Nevertheless, even after a few heavy periods of reading African American history and and thought that was written by Blacks in...Read full review »

I’m not a teacher; I’m just interested in my slave history. I’ve learned a lot, and look forward to continuing to explore this topic, while learning ways to explore and discuss this topic with my children and god children.
dakaraifl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/18
Obviously, this history needs to be taught more frequently and more thoroughly. This podcast is a fantastic resource! Kudos to the producer and scholars involved.
SoundsLike08 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/18
This is such a great resource for help with teaching. I wish there were more resources like this that give you great primary resources, techniques, ideas, and courage to tackle tough topics.

This podcast is not only an amazing resource for teachers, it is interesting & necessary information in its own right. Do yourself a favor & listen!

Thank you for providing this podcast. I just finished episode 3 and I feel like I’m learning so much. Not just in terms of educating other but in educating myself.

Bethany Jay needs to slow down a bit; she talks way too fast for a podcast. Otherwise, great podcast.
Meme123$ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/18
This should be a required podcast not just for K-12 educators, but also for public historians and museum professionals. Historic sites and museums usually completely leave out the enslaved people’s narrative, so listening to this podcast could greatly help learn the tools to integrate their...Read full review »
