La historia incompleta de Venezuela: el alarmante olvido civil ft. Rafael Arraiz Lucca

Were we taught an incomplete history? Why in Venezuela did we learn to remember battles, uniforms, and armed heroes while relegating to oblivion those who conceived our institutions? In this episode of "With an Ear to the Word," I speak with the distinguished historian and writer Rafael Arráiz Lucca about the silent displacement of civilians in the official narrative of our identity. 👥 We debunk the myth of military heroism and rescue the names and ideas of the figures who organized and sustained the country from the classroom, the laws, and civic engagement.
