The Humanity Archive: Recent Episodes
Jermaine Fowler
The Humanity Archive Podcast focuses on the overlooked narratives in the pages of the past. Challenging dominant perspectives, Jermaine Fowler goes outside the textbooks to find stories that are recognizably human. Connecting current issues with the heroic struggles of those who’ve come before us, he brings hidden history to light and makes it powerfully relevant.
This is the "Trail of Tears" history left out. Imagine a grueling march from the Chesapeake to Louisiana—over a thousand miles—where Black people were chained and forced to walk. It's a chapter of sheer brutality, yet it's barely a footnote in our history books.

For too long, the true horrors of the "Slave Trail of Tears" have been swept under the rug of American history. From the Chesapeake to Louisiana, Black people were marched in chains for over a thousand miles, herded like cattle, and forced to endure unimaginable suffering. And yet, this dark chapter of our past has been largely forgotten, relegated to a footnote in our history books.

The police force was created to enforce the law, maintain social order, and act as a force for good. At least, that is the dominant narrative. But this version of history paints a different story. One where we must reckon with deep corruption, vicious racism, and scathing abuses of power.
