Rethinking Our History
In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors."
So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This first episode exploring black excellence during Black History Month looks at one of the bravest and most influencial black women in the history of the US.
Ida B. Wells was born as an enslaved child before the emancipation proclimation just a few years later. She became an educator at a young age to take care of her siblings.
As an adult she was never quite about the inequality and injustices towards black people. And her words put her in danger many times, but she never let the violence silence her.
