No video this week due to the holiday season
Finally, the two of us close the book on John Humphrey Noyes and the Oneida Community...for now!
We spend this episode diving into the "sleeping rooms", "interviews", "Sticky love", and so much more. We focus on Tierza Miller, someone who I personally believe was a victim of the system set in place by Noyes, and her story is important to tell to highlight some of the problematic occurrences at the Oneida commune.
In the future we may have a mini episode that highlights some of their other wild inventions, but this episode is all about the inner-workings of this 19th Century experiment (did we mention that the children they had in this community never signed up to be part of an experiment?!)
