7. The Importance of History with Lettie Gore (S1 E7)
In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I talked with historian, antiracism educator, and podcast host Lettie Gore. Lettie has a master’s degree in history and a master’s degree in conflict management and resolution. We discussed Lettie’s journey toward loving history, her passion for connecting the dots, and why history is important. Follow Lettie on IG (@sincerely.lettie) and on Facebook (facebook.com/sincerelylettie). Join her Patreon community by visiting patreon.com/lettieshumate to support her work. I hope that if you know and love me you can engage with the Broadening the Narrative blog, social media accounts, and podcast, as well as any recommended resources. Then, you can share with people who know and love you, and little by little, person by person, we can broaden the narrative.
