Hi, it's Rebecca Delgado-Smith, and I want to share a preview to a very important series

I recommend you listen to entitled History Is Us, a six-part documentary podcast from C-13

Original Studios and John Meacham. The team behind the 2021 Webby Award Winning Podcast

series, it was said. Written and narrated by Dr. Eddie Glod, award-winning author and professor

of African American Studies at Princeton University, History Is Us journeys back to face the truths

about race at the heart of the American story. From the aftermath of the Civil War to the mid-20th

century struggle for freedom, to the election of Barack Obama, to the current day racial reckoning,

History Is Us asks questions about who we are as a nation, what race might reveal about our current

crisis and where we go from here. Through the voices of distinguished historians and scholars,

this limited series gives listeners the background and education to understand how we got here

and how we can all use History to clarify the choices before us.

There are too many people in this country who see every civil rights gain, every advancement for African

Americans coming at the loss to whites. I'm someone who sat on January 6th and thought this is

the beginning, not quite knowing what's next. This moment is so important to understand.

Not just in light of history, but in terms of the way history haunts.

Welcome to History Is Us. I'm Dr. Eddie Esklaw Jr. Join me in this six-part documentary podcast

series as we journey through history to face the ugly truths at the heart of the American story.

It's all history. It is a repeated conflict over who counts. Throughout this series,

we explore who we are as a nation and what race might reveal about our current crisis.

It is my hope that with a clearer sense of our tragic, hopeful and undoubtedly flawed story,

we can start the work to reinvent ourselves. What is the future of this democracy?

How do we live it? How do we feel it? How do we own it? How do we use History as a reservoir
