How History Moves the Conversation Forward with Lettie Elizabeth

Hope & Hard Pills

Lettie Elizabeth is a historian, educator, and advocate living in Wilmington, NC. She is also the host and owner of her podcast History Shows Us. Lettie’s passion for telling history’s truths and connecting the past to today’s racial and social justice issues is evident in the work she does.

She received her MA in History in 2015, focusing primarily on American history and specializing in African-American studies. She received her MA in Conflict Management & Resolution in May 2020, allowing her to use mediation, facilitation, and effective communication skills in her work as an educator and advocate. Leading and facilitating workshops to equip people with skills to have the “hard” conversations is something Lettie also enjoys.

Lettie was recently announced as a brand ambassador for America Hates Us. She has been a guest on several podcasts and is involved in her local community. Her Patreon community enjoys tons of history and antiracism content from her throughout the month which includes webinars, live Q&As, and a book club with convos! In addition to educating and collaborating online, she is currently working on organizing a couple of workshops to offer in the near future. She is also working on her own personal research project about the Green Book (a travel guide for Black people from 1937-1967) in Wilmington, North Carolina and the larger story it tells.
