Andrew Jackson Beard: The Inventor Who Made Trains Safer

Épisode 59

lundi 16 février 2026 • Durée 06:03

In this inspiring episode of Once Upon A Time in Black History, host Tamara Shiloh shares the remarkable life story of Andrew Jackson Beard—a formerly enslaved man whose brilliance and determination forever changed railroad safety.

Born into slavery in Alabama, Beard taught himself multiple trades and became an inventor who refused to accept the dangers around him as “just the way things were.” After losing a leg in a devastating railroad accident, he transformed his personal tragedy into purpose by creating the revolutionary Jenny Coupler—an automatic railroad car-coupling device that saved countless lives and helped pave the way for the Federal Safety Appliance Act.

Beard’s legacy lives on through safer railroads, groundbreaking innovation, and his induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

This episode explores how perseverance, curiosity, and creativity can turn pain into protection—and how one person’s idea can impact generations.

Granville Woods: The Genius Who Kept Trains Talking

Épisode 58

lundi 2 février 2026 • Durée 04:41

In this episode of Once Upon A Time in Black History, host Tamara Shiloh explores the remarkable life of Granville Woods—a self-taught inventor whose brilliance helped transform railroad safety and modern communication.

Born in 1856 during a time of extreme racial barriers, Granville Woods never let limited access to formal education stop him. Through curiosity, hands-on learning, and relentless experimentation, he became a pioneer in electrical and communication technology. His groundbreaking inventions allowed moving trains to communicate with one another and with stations, dramatically reducing accidents and improving efficiency.

Often called “The Black Edison,” Woods earned more than 60 patents and fought tirelessly to receive credit for his work in the face of discrimination. From safer rail travel to advances in long-distance communication, his legacy still shapes the connected world we live in today.

Tune in to learn how Granville Woods proved that innovation has no limits—and why his story still matters.

Harriet Tubman: The Bravest Guide on the Underground Railroad

Épisode 57

lundi 22 décembre 2025 • Durée 05:58

Born into slavery, Harriet refused to believe that her life was meant to be lived in chains. After escaping to freedom herself, she made a bold and dangerous choice: she went back. Again and again. As a conductor on the Underground Railroad, Harriet guided enslaved people through darkness, forests, rivers, and fear—using the North Star, secret songs, and unwavering faith to lead them to freedom.

You will learn how Harriet carried out daring nighttime rescues, completed around 13 missions, and safely guided nearly 70 people to freedom—without ever losing a single passenger. We also explore her role during the Civil War, where she became the first woman in U.S. history to plan and lead an armed military rescue during the Combahee River Raid.

This episode isn’t just about history—it’s about bravery, leadership, and believing in the power of one determined person to change the world. Harriet Tubman shows us that courage doesn’t mean being fearless; it means moving forward even when fear is present.

Thomas Fuller — The African Mathematical Genius

Épisode 56

lundi 8 décembre 2025 • Durée 07:01

In this episode of Once Upon a Time in Black History, we explore the extraordinary life of Thomas Fuller, the enslaved West African man known as “The Virginia Calculator.” Kidnapped at 14 and denied any formal education, Fuller astonished everyone with his ability to perform massive calculations entirely in his mind.

Abolitionists later tested him with enormous math problems to disprove racist beliefs about African intelligence. Fuller solved them instantly, even correcting the testers when they forgot to count leap years. His brilliance became undeniable evidence that genius is not limited by race, circumstance, or access to schooling.

Join us as we honor Thomas Fuller’s legacy and celebrate his remarkable contribution to history. Find more stories at multiculturalbookstore.com.

A Mirror to the Future: The Valerie Thomas Story

Épisode 54

mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 08:03

In this episode of Once Upon A Time in Black History, host Tamara Shiloh shines a light on Valerie L. Thomas, the brilliant mind behind NASA’s “Illusion Transmitter” — a groundbreaking invention that paved the way for 3D imaging technology.

From her childhood curiosity in Baltimore to becoming one of NASA’s most innovative scientists, Valerie’s journey is one of persistence, imagination, and quiet revolution. As one of the few women—and even fewer Black women—in physics during the 1960s, she not only helped translate satellite data into vital Earth imagery but also reimagined how humans could see and share information.

Discover how Valerie’s creativity helped shape the world of imaging—on Earth and beyond—and how her legacy continues to inspire future generations of scientists and dreamers alike.

Seneca Village: The Hidden Community Beneath Central Park

Épisode 52

lundi 6 octobre 2025 • Durée 05:21

Before Central Park became the iconic green heart of New York City, a thriving community once stood there — Seneca Village, a settlement founded by free African Americans in the 1820s. In this episode of Once Upon a Time in Black History, host Tamara Shiloh uncovers the story of this remarkable neighborhood — a place where Black families, along with Irish and German immigrants, built homes, churches, and schools, and created a safe, self-sustaining community in a time of deep racial inequality.

Learn how Seneca Village gave its residents not only a home, but also the right to vote and a sense of dignity — until the city’s plan for Central Park brought it all to an end. Though erased for more than a century, the legacy of Seneca Village endures through the artifacts, stories, and memories that continue to resurface today.

Join us as we rediscover this lost piece of history and honor the resilience of those who made Seneca Village a symbol of hope and self-determination.
