Episode description
In this episode, I cover the changing tide in America's food logos. Aunt Jemima. Uncle Ben. The Cream of Wheat man. All racist caricatures used to profit and embarrass. Also, some really big statues came down this past week, even a few here in Raleigh. One in particular has some heavy history to it that I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT RECENTLY. History class ain't shit.
