In May 2025, the Pentagon ordered military libraries to remove books addressing diversity, gender, and anti-racism. What followed was more than a quiet content review — it was a warning shot.In this episode, King Kurus explores the chilling parallels between this modern-day censorship and historical efforts to erase marginalised voices. We unpack the emotional and political cost of disappearing stories — not just for Black service members, but for all of us.This story links closely with our episode on epistemic erasure, where we examined how power can suppress truth through silence. If you haven’t listened to that one yet, it’s worth checking out.Because when our stories are removed from shelves… what happens next?The Black History Buff Podcast is a fully independent project. We aren&#39;t backed by a publishing house, advertising partners or a major enterprise.
