We all know about the campaigns to tear down statues of Columbus and Lee, but what about the remnants of slavery we walk past every day and don't even realize are there?
Eye-opening episode about how streets in America are named after lesser known creeps like slave owners. Stuyvesant in NYC is home to over 80% Black folks, but it's named after Peter Stuyvesant who owned 40 slaves and oversaw the largest auction of slaves in Manhattan. Must listen.
