Historic Hits

FROM LEFT: CHIA MESSINA; COURTESY STORY PIRATES

Historical Records is the newest podcast from Story Pirates. Each episode turns a person’s life story into a hip-hop song. Broadway actress Nimene Wureh hosts the show. “The purpose is to highlight people who are underrepresented. People who did amazing things in history,” Wureh told TIME for Kids. One example is Claudette Colvin. She is a civil rights activist. She may not be as famous as a president or a sports star. But she changed the world.
