Redacted History

On today's episode of the Redacted History Podcast, I sat down with April Verrett, the President of The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a worker's union of over 2 million strong that are working tirelessly for a better tomorrow.

We discussed the midterm elections, worker rights, voting rights, intersectionality, and what comes next.

Over the course of the last 130 years, the United States government has gone into other countries, toppled their governments, instigated wars, assassinated leaders, and much more. And they’ll tell you it was to protect our freedoms. But what’s the truth?

From the Kingdom of Hawaii to the shores of the Philippines. From the Islands of the Caribbean to the governments of North Africa, the United States has had a hand in more geopolitical conflicts than you could ever imagine.

On the Fourth of July 2026, 18 year old Nolan Wells disappeared on Horn Island, an island off the coast of Mississippi, without a trace. There were Snapchat messages deleted, his "friends" were acting paranoid, and no one would give any answers. Two autopsies, and yet a grand jury still thinks that he drowned. And I cannot help but think of Emmett Till, another Black teenage killed in Mississippi under nefarious circumstances. What happened to Nolan Wells?

What if I told you that there were people who knew about 9/11 before it happened? There was one guy for sure, and his name was John O'Neil. In the United States we regularly learn about 9/11 and are told to "Never Forget" but we are rarely told about WHY it happened and if it could have been prevented.

Let's talk about it.

I have been doing a series on social media for 5 years called Badass Black History and I have never brought it to the podcast so this year I took the social media audio and wanted to put it in pod format so it will live forever. Hopefully this encourages folks to go research and find their own Badasses from history.
