Remembering the Forgotten Heroes

"...And no matter what they did to build this city up again... for the rest of time... it would be like no one ever knew we were even here." In this episode, we pay tribute to the deeds and legacies of the individuals and the groups that history books left unmentioned, to the events in which they played a part, to their works and creations. As we discuss people like Henrietta Lacks, Vasili Arkhipov, Ljubo Čupić, Milovan Đilas, and Hedy Lamar and their selfless acts of courage in events like World War II, the American Revolution, and the Battle of Warsaw, and contributions to inventions that shaped the World we know today. We recognize the importance of knowing our own history to defend ourselves against revisionism and personal bias while developing true critical thinking. Enjoy!
