Special Episode - "Stories of Perseverance in American History"
from APUSH for All · host Zach Garrison, Riley Keltner, and Mike Hill
A special episode of APUSH for ALL on perseverance as we prepare to enter a new school year. We open at Valley Forge, where Washington’s starving army endures winter and emerges stronger under von Steuben. Then three portraits: John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran who braved the Green–Colorado canyons and later warned about settling the arid West; Penelope Barker and the Edenton women, who publicly signed a boycott and sustained it despite ridicule; and Bayard Rustin, beaten and jailed, who mastered nonviolent strategy and organized the 1963 March on Washington. Stories that inspire grit and reflection. Listen, learn, and keep going.
