Drunk History International is coming for the culture having just premiered a fresh take on the Drunk History franchise, and I’m here for it.
Drunk History: Black Stories, is a spinoff of Comedy Central’s series Drunk History. Hosted by Rapman, Drunk History: Black Stories will feature and highlight globally recognized Black icons. The new spinoff series was originally developed by Gwendolyn Elliott, an executive at ViacomCBS Networks International Communications.
This timely take on the popular Comedy Central series will follow a familiar format to the original where “ iconic stories in history are told by an inebriated narrator, while actors reenact the narrator’s tale and lip-sync their dialogue.” So if you haven’t seen Drunk History, the narrator will have had a few and the actors reenacting the story will look drunk too, while they educate viewers on history. Cheers to that!

Unusual for the age, Elizabeth “Dido Belle” d’Aviniere was depicted, not as a servant, but as a social equal to her white cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray. This 1779 painting was formerly attributed to Johann Zoffany but has now been verified as a painting in Zoffany’s style by the Scottish portraitist David Martin.

Every age is modern to those who live in it. Two centuries from now, novelists, looking back at events we ourselves find hard to accept as real today, will try to create, in fiction, a real picture of our lives, ravaged as they have been by the lethal covid19 pandemic and the idiotic 45th occupant of the White House.

As Lord Chief Justice, Mansfield ruled on significant slavery cases including the Somerset case of an escaped slave due to be sent back to Jamaica, and the Zong massacre in which the crew, faced with insufficient drinking water, threw their human cargo overboard then tried to collect the insurance. I see Mansfield as a conflicted liberal gentleman who makes a narrow judgement in the James Somerset case that did not free every former slave in England. The Zong case is not a moral case about people being murdered but an insurance case. When he ruled that the owners couldn t get the insurance, he calls the slave trade odious and says only law can change it, but he doesn t attempt to change that law.
