The King's Congo & A Week America Won't Forget

A gunman storms the White House Correspondents' Dinner. A war with Iran inches toward a constitutional crisis. Immigration courts strip protections from DACA recipients. And behind it all — a 19th century king who murdered millions and made the world look away.

This week, Adam & Nichole break down the biggest U.S. stories from April 19–25, 2026, then dive deep into one of history's most deliberately buried atrocities — King Leopold II and the genocide of the Congo Free State.

This Episode Covers:

→ The WHCD shooting & the suspicious happenings

→ The U.S.-Iran War Powers clock hitting 60 days — with no congressional approval

→ King Leopold II — the "philanthropist" who enslaved and mutilated millions

→ How powerful men bury the truth — and who finally exposed it

The stories they tried to silence. 🎙️

Welcome back to History Unmuted, the podcast where we examine the stories that history often leaves out of the textbooks. Today we’re exploring one of the most disturbing spectacles of the modern age. For decades across Europe and the United States, millions of people visited exhibitions where human beings were displayed in reconstructed villages, staged environments, and fabricated cultural scenes. Visitors purchased tickets, walked through exhibition grounds, and watched men, women, and children from colonized regions as if they were living museum objects.

Millions of people visit Central Park every year. They walk the paths, picnic on the lawns, and see it as one of the most iconic green spaces in the world. But before the park existed, a thriving community stood on that land.

Long before Central Park became a symbol of New York City, the area was home to Seneca Village, a community founded in the 1820s by free Black New Yorkers. It grew into one of the most significant Black property-owning communities in the city, with homes, churches, schools, and families building stability and opportunity during a time when those opportunities were rare.

In the 1850s, the city of New York used eminent domain to seize the land to build Central Park. Hundreds of residents were forced to leave, their homes demolished, and their community erased from the landscape.

For more than a century, the story of Seneca Village was largely forgotten.

In this episode of History Unmuted, we uncover the rise of Seneca Village, the people who built it, and the events that led to its disappearance. Through historical records and modern discoveries, we explore the community that once stood beneath one of the most famous parks in the world.

What if the most important parts of American history… were never centered in your classroom?

You learned slavery ended in 1865.
But not about convict leasing that followed.

You learned about westward expansion.
But not the legal doctrine that justified land seizure.

You learned about World War II.
But not the 120,000 Americans sent to internment camps.

You learned about the American Dream.
But not redlining maps that decided who could build wealth.

This isn’t about tearing history down.
It’s about reading the whole record.

Because when history is curated…
power decides what gets remembered.
