I’ve heard his name a lot, but I never really took the time to learn about the history surrounding him. I knew a little, but I didn’t know how huge these issues were in the not so distant past.
I can't recommend this one highly enough - I enjoyed almost every single bit of it. Everyone did a great job with narration, and the stories were all good, and some of them excellent. My hands down favourite was King Lion's Gifts narrated by Ricardo Chavira. Honourable mention goes to The Mother...
