Toguri was an American citizen who hosted a Japanese propaganda radio show broadcast to U.S. troops serving in the Pacific. These broadcasts were at the center of what was then the costliest trial in U.S. history. The viewer has never been able to play his oversized record, but family lore says it reveals the role his uncle played in this infamous show trial.

Does the contributor have the Holy Grail of the Wild West: a photo of the Lakota warrior who defeated General Custer? Historians are suspicious of most photos purported to be of Crazy Horse. The Lakota leader avoided cameras, believing they would rob his soul. To verify the photo, HISTORY DETECTIVE host Elyse Luray tracks down a Crazy Horse descendant and visits the Crazy Horse Memorial.

On April 2, 1936, when the 22-year-old son of a sharecropper entered the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, he was, he later remembered, barely able to control his anger. "I was angry because of the insults that Hitler and the other German leaders had hurled at me and my Negro teammates on the Olympic squad." The young athlete would channel his raw emotions into some of the most remarkable achievements in the history of athletics, winning four gold medals. To tell the story of Owens' remarkable victories in the face of Nazi racism, this film begins in the poor Cleveland neighborhood where the young athlete grew up; details his early career; describes Adolf Hitler's outsized ambitions for the 1936 Olympics; explores the movement in Western democracies to boycott the event; and explains the pressures on Owens to attend. The film also reveals the unlikely relationship Owens struck up at the games with his German rival Carl "Luz" Long and shows that, in the end, despite his success in Germany, Owens struggled to find a place for himself in a United States that was still wrestling to overcome its own deeply entrenched racism.

When it comes to crime and migration, all sorts of politicians have justified mass detention and incarceration in the name of confronting a dangerous crisis. But what's real and what's fear mongering, and how can reformers counter the rhetoric to advance alternatives? In this episode, Laura Flanders and co-host Amir Khafagy speak with Silky Shah, Executive Director of Detention Watch Network, about her new book is "UNBUILD WALLS: Why Immigrant Justice Needs Abolition", and Aron Thorn, Senior Attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project's Beyond Borders Program about the road ahead. Texas Governor Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star program and the state-based deportation process proposed in his state's Senate Bill SB4 could set the tone for the country. Activists can do their best to call out abuses, but what is really needed is an entirely new approach. What difference would an abolitionist lens make? "I find it very troubling that we have economies that are solely dependent on the exploitation of immigrant labor. This country depends on the exploitation of immigrant labor, yet you're seeing all these draconian measures, especially in places like Texas and now New York . . ." - Amir Khafagy "There's been some minor reforms here and there . . . I don't want to dismiss that, but none of it's been at the scale that it needs to be. There needs to be a real investment that doesn't just let the Republicans dictate the debate . . ." - Silky Shah "It's fascinating to see my colleagues in New York grappling with some of the same really difficult questions that border Texans have grappled with for a really long time. What does it look like to give meaningful support to folks who are coming here and seeking a better life?" - Aron Thorn Guests: Amir Khafagy (Co-host): Journalist, Report for America Member, Documented Silky Shah: Director, Detention Watch Network; Author, Unbuild Walls Aron Thorn: Senior Attorney, Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP), Beyond Borders Program

The industry includes restaurants, hotels, destinations, activities, unique businesses, natural wonders, vibrant cities and off-the-beaten-path towns. Several agencies working together to make it successful. It?s something easily taken for granted, like water from the tap. You just turn it on and know it will come out. But?what happens if you don?t devote time and resources to tourism and bring awareness to it? The sleeping giant stays asleep and the state economy suffers the consequences. In ?Understanding Tourism,? people who work in the industry shed light on the importance of supporting tourism. Nebraskans, whether they think so are not, are affected by tourism, therefore making it in their best interest to see it succeed. When people visit Nebraska, residents? taxes are subsidized. And, when attractions and unique businesses open in areas, local residents also partake, making their quality of life better. The Nebraska Tourism Industry, along with it?s partner agencies work together to promote Nebraska as a destination. One way they do that is with the Nebraska Passport Program, where people can pick up a booklet and earn prizes to make as many stops as possible throughout a summer. This helps promote destinations people may not have know existed and also boosts business for those who take part. With proper handling of resources and continued effort put into promoting the industry, the giant will awaken, and Nebraska?s tourism potential will continue to succeed.

Waila music comes from the Tohono O'odham, the native people of the Sonoran desert and the largest Indian tribe of southern Arizona. Waila (pronounced why-la) is an O'odham word that comes from the Spanish word "baile," which means "to dance." There are no words to waila music -- it is only instrumental, and is played on a button accordion, alto saxophone, electric six-string and bass guitars, and drums. Waila began from the music of early fiddle bands that adapted European and Mexican tunes heard in northern Sonora. The dances performed in the waila tradition are the waila (which is similar to a polka), the chote (based on a folk dance from Scotland or Germany), and the mazurka (based on a Polish folk dance). Regardless of the beat, all waila dances are performed while moving around the floor in a counterclockwise direction.
