ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Zack Lyde sits down with Savannah historian and educator Amir Jamal Toure for a conversation that moves from Zack's own account of commanding troops in Vietnam to the Civil War's final campaign on the Georgia coast — the burning of Darien, the betrayal at Ebenezer Creek, and the Savannah meeting that produced Special Field Order No. 15 ("40 acres and a mule"). The two land on a running metaphor for cultural erosion: the shift from eating a whole fish, head and eyes included, to filets — and what else gets thrown away along the way.
