0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>What's happening. We're back, Like the name on a jersey,

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either,

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast where every episode proved that your high school

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>history teacher was a liar. I didn't know. I didn't know.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. I

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. Now, if you've been locked into all ninety

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>five episodes of the podcast, and you know, season one,

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>we came out swinging hit, y'all with the grimy, gritty stuff,

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>black babies used as alligator bait, clowns rooted in racism

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>with black face and nursery rhymes that were never meant

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>for naptime. And y'all, remember when I told you about

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>dunkin boots back in the day. They didn't aim at

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a target. The target was the face of an enslaved

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>black man. Yeah, we had all the smoking season one.

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Then in season two we had to show you the wins,

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>like how Winston Salem, North Carolina had a black on

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>bus system that would have made Rosa Parks proud, or

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>how black people save PEPSI Well, one of my favorite

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>people in history, Robert Small's My Dudes stole a whole

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Confederate ship and said, get me and my family up

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>out of here. You heard of the Underground Railroad. My

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>boy Robert Smalls had the Underground Cruise line for season three.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Last year, we had a focus on stem science, technology, engineering,

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and math. Black folks out here innovating even when they

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>don't give us the credit. Talked about how DJ's used

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>math and neuroscience to keep the parties lit, how drones

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>could find black towns that's been buried under water, and

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of course we shared massacres and atrocities like when Philly

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 1>bombed its own citizens in the nineteen seventies. This season,

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about the queens black women who changed the game.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Each week, we've got a highlight on HBCUs. We're talking

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>about medical injustices and malpractices, and of course we got

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>more massacres because apparently white supremacy had seasons two. But

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not all bad. We've got stories of success and

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>innovation to remind you all that Black history is about resilience, brilliance,

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>and us never folding. So tell a friend to tell

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a friend. Could we dropping new episodes daily this month
