Trey’s Table Episode 417: Callie House: A True American Hero

Before there was a modern reparations movement… Before there were hashtags… There was Callie House. In the early 1900s, Callie House helped organize hundreds of thousands of formerly enslaved people to demand pensions from the U.S. government for the labor stolen from them. And what did the government do? They prosecuted her. They sent her to federal prison. This week on Trey’s Table, I tell the story of one of the most courageous — and overlooked — activists in American history. Her fight for reparations didn’t start in a think tank. It started in Black communities across the South. Her name was Callie House. And she refused to be silent. 🎙️ Listen now. 🔗 Link in bio. #CallieHouse #BlackHistory #Reparations #TreyTable #HiddenHistory #AfricanAmericanHistory
