  • Control: Gary Stollman, J. Marion Sims, and the Harlem Six
    In this extended episode of 10 Minute History Lessons, host Antonio Milian explores the unsettling theme of control—how it's taken, abused, and used to manipulate minds, bodies, and justice itself. Through three powerful, lesser-known stories, we uncover how control has shaped Black life in America in deeply disturbing ways.🔍 First, we look at Gary Stollman, a man suffering from schizophrenia who held a news anchor hostage on live TV in 1987, demanding the public hear his fears about government mind control. What seemed like paranoia revealed deeper societal anxieties about media, surveillance, and mental autonomy.🩺 Next, we examine the dark legacy of J. Marion Sims, the so-called “Father of Modern Gynecology,” who conducted surgeries on enslaved Black women without anesthesia. His tools and methods still influence modern medicine, but at what cost?⚖️ Finally, we revisit the tragic case of the Harlem Six—six Black teenagers wrongfully arrested in 1964, beaten into confessions, and subjected to psychiatric abuse by the state. Their story exposes the Northern arm of America’s racial justice crisis and how the law can be used to control, not protect.This episode blends historical analysis, storytelling, and sharp social commentary to help listeners connect the dots between past injustices and modern systems of control.🎙️ Whether you're a student, teacher, or history lover, this episode is a must-listen.📌 Subscribe, follow, and share if you believe history should be short—but never forgotten.#BlackHistory #MedicalRacism #CriminalJusticeReform #10MinuteHistory #MentalHealthAwareness #Control #HiddenHistory #GaryStollman #HarlemSix #JMarionSims #HistoricalTruths #JusticeForAll #PodcastRecommendations

  • Autonomy: Haitian Protest, Henrietta Lacks, and Chang and Eng Bunker
    In this episode of 10 Minute History, we explore three gripping stories where the fight for bodily autonomy clashes with prejudice, exploitation, and power.We begin in the 1980s with the Haitian Blood Refusal, when Haitians in New York City rose up against a discriminatory policy by the CDC that labeled them a health threat during the AIDS crisis—despite zero scientific proof.we uncover the remarkable and contradictory lives of Chang and Eng Bunker, the conjoined twins who became wealthy American landowners—and slaveholders. Their journey from being objectified sideshow attractions to becoming part of the Southern aristocracy forces us to reckon with what happens when the oppressed become the oppressors.This episode isn’t just about history—it’s about power, resistance, and the complicated paths we take in pursuit of freedom.

More than you think.In this episode of 10 Minute History, we explore how Charles Boycott’s name became a weapon of resistance, why Aretha Franklin demanded “R-E-S-P-E-C-T,” and how Sarah Howe scammed thousands of women with a fake bank—and got away with it... at first.These are the stories behind the names that shaped culture, music, protest, and deception.
