Cursed History
by Marley Stuever-Williford
"All History is current; all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world." -Alice WalkerDo you ever wonder exactly how things got this bad? Racism, misogyny, disease, the death of our planet-- how did no one see this coming? (Answer: many people did). More importantly though, what can we do to stop it? Cursed History is a bi-weekly podcast that explores the past to get answers to these questions. The pieces of history interlock like a horrible 4D Rubik's Cube, creating a cause-and-effect chain that extends from early civilization to today.
