EP 109: The Racist History of the State of Oregon

2022/08/09

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the racist History of the State of Oregon. While many states across the United States have incredible racist History, Oregon is the only state in the country to enter the Union with a Black exclusion law, quite literally banning Black people within its borders. When they became a State in 1859, they entered as a Free State - meaning that slavery would not be permitted within its borders - but that’s not because these people were on the right side

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the 1968 Olympics, the Black Boycott, and the Black Power Salute seen around the world. On October 16, 1968, two African-American Olympic athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos (who had just won gold and bronze respectively in the 200-meter sprint) took their place on the winners podium and each raised a black-gloved fist into the air as the United States National Anthem played.

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Berlin Wall. This was a wall that was first erected in August of 1961 to essentially separate East and West Germany from one another. Following the Second World War, Germany - and Berlin itself - was split up into four allied occupation zones. The western portions were governed by the United States, Great Britain, and later France, while the eastern portion was governed by the Soviet Union. Between the years of 1949 and 1961, somewhere between 2.5

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. When she did this in 1967, let’s just say that men were not ready for women to have this much equality. Because during the race, the race manager Jock Semple assaulted her by running up behind her and attempting to rip her bib number off of her shirt in order to disqualify her from the race. Switzer’s boyfriend who was running alongside her was able to shove Semple to the ground

Montez was an Irish dancer and actress who became famous in the mid-19th Century as a Spanish dancer, among many other pursuits, one of which landed her as the lover of an actual Bavarian king! Lola’s story comes with its fair share of controversies, especially when it comes to who the hell she actually was and what her true background was. Most of the controversy

2022/07/05

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing historic torture techniques. We have all of course heard of some of these historic torture techniques before; think back to Medieval Europe and the stories we’ve heard of people being tied by their limbs and then stretched out to the point of dislocation. Or think of Rome and the horrendous torture technique of crucifixion; most widely known because of, of course, the story of Jesus. Or, of course, the technique of using the pillory - that wooden frame

Little Rock Nine is the name given to the nine students that were the first Black students to attend Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, following the Brown v.

Welcome back for Season Eleven! This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing War of the Worlds. And not necessarily the novel, The War of the Worlds, written by H.G. Wells, which is about aliens from Mars invading the Earth. No, more specifically, we are discussing an incident that occurred the day before Halloween in 1938 when actor Orson Welles (no relation to author H.G. Wells) read aloud an adaptation of The War of the Worlds on live radio. Innocent enough, right? HOWEVER, Welles delivered
