Surprising and Fun Ways to Learn Black History
History is boring, right? Wrong! If you like stories, romance, mystery, and drama then you will love learning history. But history is often taught only by memorizing names, dates, and death counts. Robin and Hans are continuing their discussion from last week's podcast show in which they discussed why history is still important. In this show, history-lovers Robin, Hans, and Ben discuss their favorite ways to learn and experience history. Yes, they love reading books like biographies, non-fiction novels, and even cookbooks. But we also discuss other ways of learning history like attending cultural festivals, visiting historic sites, and other surprising activities. This engaging and definitely uncommon conversation will show you exciting ways to learn and experience Black history throughout the year.
