Half Past History is a podcast that summarizes a historical event or figure in a 20-30 minute episode. We look into what happened, why it happened, and how it impacted the present.
In this episode, Monte explores the Nicaraguan Revolution (1961-1990). The revolution had a significant impact on the political development of Nicaragua and the region of Central America as a whole, and it really highlights the ways in which American foreign policy can impact other countries.

The debut episode is about the 1921 Greenwood Massacre, which devastated the Greenwood community in Tulsa, OK. The Greenwood Massacre was one of many race riots and attacks on Black communities in the United States in the years between World War I and the Great Depression. These attacks coincided with a resurgence in activity of the Ku Klux Klan and doubling-down of the segregationist Jim Crow laws. If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to this podcast!
