De Koude Oorlog, de Drooglegging, de Gold Rush, de Ruimtewedloop. Elk aspect van je leven – de woorden die je spreekt, de ideeën die je deelt – is terug te voeren op onze geschiedenis, maar hoe goed ken je eigenlijk de verhalen die Amerika hebben gevormd? We nemen je mee naar de gebeurtenissen, de tijden en de mensen die onze natie hebben gevormd. En we laten je zien hoe onze geschiedenis hen, hun families en jou vandaag de dag beïnvloedt. Gehost door Lindsay Graham (niet de senator). Van Wondery, het netwerk achter American Scandal, Tides of History, American Innovations en meer.

The Cold War, Prohibition, the Gold Rush, the Space Race.

In the summer of 1989, Michelle Robinson was an up and coming lawyer at a Chicago law firm when she met a charming associate named Barack Obama. The two would soon marry, and despite her distaste for politics, Michelle eventually stepped up to support her husband’s bid for the presidency.
The Obamas made history when they became the first Black President and First Lady, but they would have to contend with intense public scrutiny, including racist and sexist attacks. Through it all Michelle would remain true to her principles, promoting health and nutrition initiatives and advocating for girls education, becoming one of the most popular First Ladies of the modern era.
