Summary

A 109 year old Black woman fights for reparations for her neighborhood that was burned to the ground when she was a child. The first woman on to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List was a Black Panther. The richest person of all time, an African king, gave away so much gold that it caused Cairo's economy to crash… for over a decade. On Wondery’s history series Black History, For Real, hosts Franchesca Ramsey and Conscious Lee go beyond the stories you already know to drop you right in the mix. It’s a no-nonsense, unwhitewashed account of history’s most overlooked moments, with a mix of narrative storytelling and candid conversation. We’ll even spill the occasional historical tea! It’s all facts, no cap. http://wondery.fm/BHFR_HistoryofEverything Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
0:06.1	As a long-time foreign correspondent, I've worked in lots of places, but nowhere is
0:11.3	important to the world as China. I'm Jane Perlase, former Beijing Bureau Chief for the New York
0:16.7	Times. On face-off, the U.S. versus China will explore what's critical to this important global
0:23.3	relationship, Trump and Xi Jinping, AI, TikTok, and even Hollywood. New episodes of Face Off are available
0:31.9	now, wherever you get your podcasts.
0:38.0	Hello, everyone, Stuckerya here, and I have something pretty important to say.

0:45.6	because it absolutely is.
0:47.9	The unfortunate reality, though, is not all history is created equal, and in many
0:51.9	circumstances, people of African descent typically are
0:55.9	not talked about in many of the history books that we have all over the world.
1:00.3	And that is where Wondry's new podcast, Black History, for real, introduces you to the most
1:05.4	overlooked Black history makers that you probably already should know about, but for circumstances you may not.
1:12.5	Like Asada Shakur of the Black Panther Party, or the richest man in ancient history of the
1:18.5	world who was actually black. And once, in a while, they will be spilling some historical tea.
1:25.0	They're also going to be spilling some historical tea like in the case of W.E. Du Bois son-in-law, County Cullen, because if you're not familiar with this guy,
1:32.6	after his wedding, the Harlem Renaissance era poet went and ran off to Europe with his alleged lover,
1:38.7	who, mind you, was already his best man. I'm about to play a clip from the show,
1:46.8	and you can follow Black History for real on the Wondry app or wherever it is that you get your podcast.
