Hidden Truths

The Insight Center is committed to exposing the root causes of economic exclusion and racial inequity. Through the Hidden Truths podcast, we amplify uncovered truths and unheard voices across policy and politics. From sharing the latest research and insights to exploring the lived experiences of our multiracial nation, we aim to challenge—and disrupt—the status quo and the systems of power that hold people back. By uncovering America’s very real truths, we’re working to ensure that everyone—no matter their race, gender, or zip code—can fully participate in our economy and share in the promise of freedom.

    Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

    Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
