    I believe AC’s first name is Archie. I found it written out on the 1950 Federal Census. May AC forever Rest In Peace!

  • Exceptional

    Hank K is an amazing storyteller! More impressive is the historical accuracy of the bitter racial and ruthless divide of the White South against the Black men, women, and children of the South that he presents to us the listeners. His students research for the podcast is likewise impressive. A “most” for listeners.
