  • Resumen

  • In this episode, Sharon is joined by Abigail Ayres, an average person, in her own words, bringing love, life, laughter, and joy to Instagram. Sharon and Abigail discuss the life and legacy of William Rufus King, the 13th vice president of the United States, who served a term of a few weeks before his untimely death. William Rufus King’s lifelong political career was a far cry from those who are expected to follow the ethical, democratic process we uphold today, and Sharon shares how King’s social status, wealth, race, and outdated electoral systems influenced his pursuit of the “American Dream.” As a proponent of slavery and founding member of Selma, Alabama, Sharon and Abi examine the irony of the civil rights marches led by Martin Luther King Jr. on the soil of King’s former plantation one century later and discuss how we can extract the contributions of historical figures in America while also condemning their immorality.

Sharon Does Not Disappoint!!

I've been following Sharon on IG for months now. She is everything you could ever dream of having in a teacher. Knowledgeable, kind, funny, witty, and caring. I am not surprised in the slightest that her podcast is as engaging and informative as her IG page. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be thoroughly entertained as she takes you through lesser known stories of history.

So much good information

I love learning about history. My daughter and I stopped and started the podcast because we were having so many conversation about the new information we were learning.
