I watched it, and I couldn’t ignore what was missing.
In my latest piece, “Back to Whose Frontier?”, I unpack how the show erases Black history while presenting a nostalgic, whitewashed version of the American frontier.
This is a reflection on generational exclusion, the stories we inherit, and the truths we’re still fighting to have acknowledged.
I’d love to know what you think, and if it resonates, feel free to share it.
