Our Ancestors Were Messy
Nichole Hill
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 but that's hardly the end of their story. In fact, it’s just the beginning!
