This week, we're going back in time again with Historically Black, an eight-episode series by APM Reports in collaboration with The Washington Post. It is available to listen to for free at Historically Black | APM Reports.
Over the course of eight episodes, this series examines objects that reflect the lived experiences of Black communities throughout American history and brings their stories to life. Presented by a fantastic collection of hosts - including renowned author and social commentator, Roxane Gay - listeners are expertly guided through over two-hundred years of personal struggle, historically-defining moments (such as the 'Million Man March' of 1995) and finally an uplifting look into the enduring love and relationships of African-American couples, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Essential listening for anyone looking to broaden their knowledge not just of Black history in the UK but America too, and the wider implications of the fight for equality on a global scale.
