Madang Podcast: Sharon McMahon, Ep. 43
Welcome to Madang Podcast.
Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between. This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is a reality. Please join me at Madang Podcast hosted by the Christian Century.
This is the 43rd Episode where I converse with Sharon McMahon on her book, The Small and the Mighty. McMahon is a longtime high school government and law teacher who is now best known as America’s Government Teacher on her Instagram account, Sharon Says So. In a time when flashy headlines and false information often take the spotlight, millions of people rely on McMahon for nonpartisan, fact-based information.
In this episode, she shares her new book, The Small and the Mighty, Alexander Hamilton, enslavement, WWII, education, Quakers and so much more.
“It was illegal to teach an enslaved person to read, so liberation through education became a very important theme in the mid-nineteenth century United States.” Sharon McMahon
