#1479: “Exploring The History Of The Blues And Franco Americans”

January 25, 2019

#1479: “Exploring The History Of The Blues And Franco Americans”

A great way to understand the history of a region and its people is to study their music. And in Mississippi, that music is the blues.

Then we’ll hear about another little talked about community in US history: the thousands of French Canadians who settled in northern New York and New England.

We’ll also spend an Academic Minute exploring what the movie Black Panther tells us about African history.
