I've been getting
exposed to history that I was never taught in school. I'm learning
quite a bit from a podcast (which is an internet audio “lecture”
or “discussion”) called “Stuff You Missed In History Class”.
That podcast covers all manner of topics, from the tasty (a history
of cheese) to the silly (the West Point Eggnog Riot of 1826) to the
horrific (the Tulsa Race Riot). But there are many things that just
don't show up in history classes. Partly due to time, there just
isn't enough time to cover everything. And partly due to a certain
kind of censorship, people just don't want to talk about certain
things.
