Capitalism Hits Home: The Origins of Racism - An Untold History

[S5 E06] The Origins of Racism - An Untold History Our nation's racism was a deliberate policy developed in response to rebellions in the 1600s when white indentured servants, free black men and women and enslaved black people rose up together against their exploitation. In this episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad shares the story of this hugely important, yet often untaught, historical moment and its implications today. ​Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad (CHH) is a ‪@democracyatwrk‬ production. The show addresses the intersection of capitalism, class, and personal lives, and explores what is happening in the economic realm and its impact on our individual and social psychology.
