Why History is So Important to 101 Year Old Betty Reid Soskin

At 101 years old, Betty Reid Soskin knows why history is so important. "What gets remembered is a function of who’s in the room doing the remembering,” she tells us, and her history is helping other untold stories come to light at Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. From working in a Jim Crow union hall during the war, to starting one of the first Black-owned record shops in America, to receiving a Presidential Medal, Betty has lived many lives and she’s fully shown up for all of it. Betty shares why she has even more hope for the future on HOPE Is My Middle Name, streaming now wherever you listen to podcasts.
