To Nichole Hill, people like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston were huge contributors to Black culture. But they were also just people. Sometimes messy people.
In this episode, we chat with Nichole about the great responsibility that comes with telling our ancestors’ stories truthfully — flaws and all.
“Since I was a kid, I've always wondered where the Black people were, and assumed it was, like, somewhere suffering. But these papers were like — they were living just like how we're living. I'm shocked at how small my imagination was, but I'd never had any inputs that would have led me to believe otherwise.”Nichole Hill
