The Global Black History Podcast

A comprehensive podcast on black history and black issues around the world. You’ll hear about subjects in black history that you won’t find in your average history curriculum. Each story is told in an entertaining narrative fashion that’s easy to listen to. I used to get bored in history class too. But black history is far from boring. The rich tapestry of experience that makes up the diaspora deserves its attention and that’s the mission of this podcast: bringing black history from around the world to average people.

Genocide In The Belgian Congo (Part 4): The Great Big Cover Up of 10 Million Deaths

November 27, 2020 • Eriche

Genocide in the Belgian Congo (Part 4) - The Finale Episode

How did Leopold's genocidal regime fall apart? How did researchers reach the 10 million estimate? Why was this covered up and how? I'll answer these questions and get into the final grisly details from the Belgian occupation of the Congo. We'll dig deep into the violent details and the ultimate unraveling of this genocidal regime.

This is the last episode in our story about the genocide in the Belgian Congo.
