reconstruction — The Podcast

In this very special episode in honor of Black History Month we are drinking a boozy, frosty concoction that ties into TUX’s scandal called the Prescription Julep. This julep dates back to 1857 and according to our friend (in our minds) barroom historian David Wondrich “it is one of the tastiest mint julep recipes he knows.” We concur because this drink is essentially an adult snow cone.

TUX’s scandal is the historic rise and fall of Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company aka the Freedman's Savings Bank. We toast to teaching American History in history class! Could you imagine?

STEPHANIE talks about “40 acres and a mule” and how the scandal of what happened to this land shows so much of what was possible at this one moment in history and what Reconstruction could have been if this country was about freedom and justice for all of its citizens.
