Our Ancestors Were Messy

Coco Hill Productions 23 - The Revolutionary Black Loyalists! Live with Tressie McMillan Cottom

A recap of the gossip, scandals, and pop culture that made headlines and then history in pre-Civil Rights Era America. Host Nichole Hill takes her guests through the story of an ancestor in search of opportunity, adventure, love, and a way to beat Jim Crow. Along the way, these ancestors make messes that land them in the gossip columns of Black newspapers.
