Julian the Historian
Hello, I'm Julian the Historian.
I'm not here to rush you through dates and battles. Instead, I tell history the way it was lived — through the small details, the quiet moments, and the voices that deserve to echo louder through time.
This channel is dedicated to exploring the lives, struggles, and triumphs of Black Americans — the everyday people who built communities, raised families, fought for dignity, and shaped a nation, often without recognition. These are stories of resilience, creativity, and humanity that were lived deeply, but not always written down.
Every episode is crafted slowly, with care, like a conversation with purpose. I believe history isn't just about facts — it's about being human. It's about understanding where we come from and honoring the lives that came before us.
So welcome, friend. I'm glad you're here. Let's walk through these streets together, listen to these voices, and remember the people who deserved to be remembered.
