(Reposted: originally aired on February 25th.)This week history teachers Mr. Linden and Ms. Ratledge discuss the creation of Black History Month and why it is so important to have a focused lens in American history. In the episode they tell the stories of some well known though not well studied people such as George Washington Carver, Ruby Bridges, and Ida B Wells, individuals whose herculean efforts have had an extraordinary impact on American history.
