The gossip, scandals, and pop culture that made headlines and then history in pre-Civil Rights Era America. Host Nichole Hill takes her guests through the story of an ancestor in search of opportunity, adventure, love, and a way to beat Jim Crow. Along the way, our ancestors make messes that land them in the gossip columns of Black newspapers but that’s hardly the end of their stories; in fact, it’s only the beginning!
