The Vitals of History is before Chapter Two: An Old House and an Infrared Light.

The doctor will not hazard a diagnosis until he or she knows the history going back generations." —Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent, Page #13(Hardcover) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
