18/06/2026 | 18 min
If you loved Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, you can’t miss Higher Ground and Audible’s newest series, Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise. Reconstruction was a time when Americans struggled over fundamental questions about our country. Who gets to be a citizen? Who has the right to vote? Who can own property? In short, who belongs? Best-selling author and host of Revisionist History, Malcolm Gladwell, guides us through this extraordinary moment in American history with help from former President Barack Obama. Together they explore why America has yet to make good on the promise of Reconstruction — and how it still might.
