Who builds the statues—and who never gets a chisel?
In this Side Salad segment from The Salad Bowl Podcast, we examine how power shapes history: who writes textbooks, who’s called “heroic,” and whose voices are left out of the national narrative.
This episode argues for a richer, more honest story of America—one made of many perspectives rather than a single monument. We explore colonization, slavery, Indigenous erasure, and gendered histories, and why adding context doesn’t erase truth—it deepens it.
Perfect for listeners interested in history, social justice, education reform, and cultural storytelling. Tune in to question the monuments you pass, and learn why the Salad Bowl isn’t about tearing things down—it’s about letting more hands carve the story.
