Welcome back to this week's classic episode, fellow ridiculous historians.

This one, to be quite honest with you, is going to take some unexpected dark turns.

Max, did you ever learn Morse code?

Oh, God, no.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

I might have just said something very dirty.

It is a useful thing to know.

Knowing it is maybe not as common now as it used to be back in the day, but the evolution of communication across the planet owes a lot to the telegraph and to Morse code.

This revolutionized the way people transmit information. In today's classic episode, we are going to explore the life and times

of the man who invented the code in the first place, a guy named Samuel Morse. Again, we cannot emphasize

this enough. This is kind of a bummer. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

1969, Malcolm and Martin are gone. America is in crisis. At a Morehouse college, the students make their move.

It's the true story of protest and rebellion in black American history that you'll never forget.

had his own rules. Segregation and the day integration at night.
