The Stories We Tell: A History Podcast

To celebrate Presidents' Day, Jamie and Justina discuss the myths associated with our nation's first president, George Washington.

In this episode, Justina complicates American suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton's career and legacy. Through this examination, she encourages listeners to question the "stories we tell" about the history of feminism. 

Today, Jamie tells Justina about the life of William Apess. While Apess is virtually unknown today, he was an acclaimed Native orator and activist in the 1830s. In this episode we explore Apess’ life, how he was forgotten, and what this amnesia demonstrates about the stories we tell.
