What they didn’t teach us: Lessons Gen X Black Kids had to learn on their own

from In The Know with Tony Reeves · host Anthony Reeves

In this episode, I explore the lessons Gen X Black kids weren’t taught in school—but learned through life, family, and experience. From forgotten Black high schools to KKK terror parades, and from the strength of the Black church to quiet legacies of integration, I reflect on the stories we inherited and the importance of capturing them while we still can. History isn’t just what’s written—it’s what’s remembered.
