William F. Spivey's History Channel

By William Spivey

Most of my stories invariably return to history, a different perspective, and always in context. A recent story about the Red Summer of 1919 also described 1918-1923. You'll get some politics, education, and race, but history is what I always return to.

William has some of the most fascinating and insightful stories form American history you will ever read.

Dr Stacey Patton

Black, snarky, award-winning journalist, author, child advocate, college professional and unapologetic wig snatcher.

I know her well and respect her work so much. I read what she writes daily. To me, Dr. Patton is one of the most fearless, honest, gifted writers in America right now. Few people call out the BS of America, all of it, like her.

Michael Moore

I was born in Flint, Michigan and raised on a dirt street by loving parents, two sisters and a lot of Green Giant in a can.

Michael is my friend and brother. We have met many times in person and campaigned across the country together for Bernie back in the day. I respect him and trust his instincts. He has a big heart.
