We are constantly learning new things about our history—from new perspectives on opposing sides, to entire histories that have been excluded from our textbooks and archives.
Our guest today is the incredibly insightful historical mastermind and author Lee Wind. We discuss his personal discovery of Abraham Lincoln's real love, Joshua Speed, and how this discovery launched him into a world of queer erasure of prominent figures around the world. Join us to discuss queer history, the necessity of education, the power of language, and what it's like to have a book banned in several states.
Thanks to our Amazing Guest: Lee Wind
