Description
Join co-hosts Donna Polk & Jonathan Stokes on Now We Know, the monthly podcast that encourages learning and relearning black history in a fun yet educational way. Together, they unpack and repack our history from the lens of two people simply trying to figure it out and spread the word. Reading between the lines of what we learned and what we need to learn, we're here to bridge the gap.
