[RERUN] EPISODE 70: John Brown (Part 1): Heartbreak & Slavery
In this first episode of a three-part series, we’ll introduce the early
part of John Brown’s life
and his crusade against slavery. Among today’s topics, we’ll have the
ethics of punching a
Nazi, how the beating of an enslaved child set Brown on his path, how both
pro and anti-
slavery forces used Christianity to justify their stances, racism
masquerading as
philanthropy, the Nat Turner rebellion, grief & PTSD, the Underground
Railroad, the
murder of Elijah Lovejoy, and much more.
