Consistently on We the (Black) People, I ask my guests to bring at least one individual's story to the conversation as these stories about people really bring history to life for me. It has resulted in really excellent stories about people I never knew about. Here are the top six I brought together in this episode.

00:35 - Harry Green from Black Fathers vs. Slavery with Professor Libra Hilde

02:00 - Duncan Winslow from Who Freed the Slaves? with Professor David Williams

05:03 - Mary McLeod Bethune from The Black Feminist Movement with Professor Martha S. Jones

08:21 - Georgia Gilmore from Workers, Not Servants with Professor Premilla Nadasen

10:30 - Leo Robinson from May Day with Professor Peter Cole

12:47 - Amelia Robinson from The Original Abolitionists with Professor Kellie Carter Jackson

See y'all in January. Thanks for listening!
