    Jazz and Civil Rights
    2026/08/13
    The personal and professional lives of musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane cannot be divorced from the struggle for racial equality. Antonio Garcia says they contributed in significant ways to interracial understanding and social progress. Also: The composers of the Civil Rights anthem “Lift Every Voice and Sing” also created musical theater at the turn of the century that transformed the image of African American characters and performers. Paula Marie Seniors looks at the lives of the composers Bob Cole, J. Rosamond Johnson, and James Weldon Johnson, whose work helped break down stereotypical portrayals of black Americans. Later in the show: Newbery Medal-winning children’s author Meg Medina talks about the power of writing in Spanglish and relates her own childhood to her book Merci Suárez Changes Gears. Plus: Nishaun Battle talks about the historic “adultification” of young black girls. Her book is Black Girlhood, Punishment and Resistance: Reimagining Justice for Black Girls in Virginia.

    Healing from the Holocaust
    2026/08/07
    After liberation, concentration camp survivors were left a shell of themselves - malnourished, diseased, and traumatized. Children who lost their parents and extended family had nowhere to go. Maggie Fraser Kirsh studies the caregivers who swooped in from around the world to help begin the healing process. Later in the show: Death by hanging was the harshest punishment assigned to Nazi-era war criminals. But Jessica Trisko Darden says not all who were sent to the gallows were men. She’s the author of the new book, The Accused: How Women Faced Justice for Nazi-Era Crimes. And: A few years ago, Melissa Kravetz came across a memoir written on onion paper from 1970 that had been stored in a closet for decades. And it told the life of a remarkable German woman who witnessed - and resisted - the Nazi rise to power. Melissa is the editor of The Memoir of Ilse Seger: Wife, Mother, Hostage, Nazi Resister.

    What did Jefferson mean by “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”? Adam Potkay explains the moral and philosophical world behind the phrase and the important passages that were edited out of the Declaration of Independence. Plus: On the evening of July 4, 1776, the Founding Fathers raced to print 200 copies of the Declaration of Independence for rapid dispersal throughout the colonies. Holly Robertson and George Riser dive into the frantic, midnight race to spread the news of independence. Later in the show: Martha Jefferson is usually portrayed as Thomas Jefferson’s beloved wife who died young in childbirth. But Patti Miller and Nicole Brown say that a new biography shows she was actually a highly educated, politically astute woman and a wartime political confidante of Jefferson.
