Confederate monuments are coming down. What goes up in their place? Who really deserves a monument? Inspired by one Baltimore high school, this podcast investigates the history of Confederate monuments and symbols—and their uncertain future. But mostly, it explores monumental moments through the stories of five unsung African Americans whose courage and cunning dramatically shaped American history. If you wish you could remember more of what you learned in American history, but hate being bored, this podcast is for you. Walk in the shoes of people who lived and breathed the Fugitive Slave Act, the 15th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, Plessy vs. Ferguson, Brown vs. Board of Education and the Freedom Rides firsthand. Celebrate Black History Month every month with this eight-part series hosted by history translator Sarah Lohnes and featuring living descendants, historians like Martha S. Jones, David Taft Terry, and Melba Joyce Boyd, politicians and artists.

Is a monument the only (or best) way to remember a life well lived? Check in with students, activists, and civic leaders- and pretty much everyone else you've heard from in the podcast- for the many creative ways they are building and teaching the legacies of our heroes. Learn what's bad about textbooks, what can be great about monuments, and whether the Gorsuches and Parkers have made amends. Featuring Tianna Hunt, Callie Brizzi, Noel Flournoy, Ryan Patterson, and Owen Silverman Andrews.
