Ep. 8: The Arc of Reclamation

De: Bonnie Greer

Bonnie meets an inspirational figure who was crucial to the Civil Rights movement in the USA. Pauli Murray was an activist, lawyer and poet who broke the mould. She’s the most influential person in the civil rights movement you’ve probably never heard of. As the series draws to a close, Bonnie visits her beloved British Museum to ask what is the legacy of all these untold stories - and how we can reshape our history to tell a richer tale about our world.

More Stones Finally Turned

Working through my election cycle reading of Wright, Ellison, Baldwin, Malcom and others, I came upon this gem. As we say “Just when I thought I had heard it all”. Bonnie Greer has opened my horizons to entire bodies of work I was not smart enough to find on my own.

This series has prompted me to begin my own study.

Audible only has episodes 6-8, but there is a wealth of information within those episodes that I will expand upon.

A Masterpiece of black history

I listened attentively to every word and learned so much about our history. I have so much new knowledge to share and much more to learn!

WOW!

As I search for more was to educate myself and expand my knowledge of black history and lean into more black voices, I could not have picked a better podcast to start with. This was powerful and the information I learned was new, fascinating and sometimes hard to hear. This is the history we should be teaching and learning about and I applaud Bonnie Greer for her research and the format in which she presented it here. Highly recommend!

4 stars but Audible will only permit 1 star

I know more than the average person about Africannhistory across the diaspora. but this series taught me a few things. I found the format very enjoyable to.listen to.

Interesting

A must listen. I enjoyed all of the knowledge i received from this podcast. Thank you all so much for working hard to share this podcast.

Great History Lesson

We need more series like this to help educate and provide a more objective viewpoint of history.

Very Informative and Highly Listenable

Under taking a really interesting journey, Greer guides us thru the many angles of some usually undisclosed aspects of Black History. Very good!

I'm woke

All I can say is wow. I'm so shocked there were so many heroines and heros, I was not familiar with. I'm so enlightened 🌹

Exciting and Informative

I was pleasantly surprised with this podcast. Eight episodes were not enough. I hope she will expand the podcast in the future. Exceptional work.
