In this episode, we commemorate the humanitarianism and grit of memoirist Olaudah Equiano, also known as Gustavus Vassa — a man whose fortitude and ardor helped redefine the concept of freedom in the British Empire. We analyze his autobiography as part of our “Black History Month” theme, and discuss meaningful subjects independence, national identity, and compassion.

Please join us as we try to read a little more, write a little better, and explore the human condition — together.
