Challenging Modern Narratives: A Deep Dive into Columbus and Las Casas

Ever felt like history has been twisted beyond recognition?

But we aren't stopping at Columbus. Jesse also illuminates the role of Bartolome de Las Casas, one of the first Christian missionaries to America. Known for his fierce advocacy for indigenous people's rights, Las Casas's story challenges the common misconceptions about historical figures. This episode isn't just about re-telling history; it's an invitation to rethink the stories we've been told, and see our past through a more nuanced lens.
