These 3 secrets from American History will SHOCK you!

Introducing History Can't Hide

"Much of history isn’t lost—it’s been buried. But no matter how deep, history can’t hide forever.”

1. Did you know the Smithsonian once stole the brains of Black children for eugenics research?

2. Did you know that the Border Patrol made Mexicans shower in gasoline baths, later inspiring the Nazi’s gas chambers?

3. Did you know that one of the largest mass lynchings in US History took place in Los Angeles with Chinese American victims?

Well if you didn’t (and even if you did), it’s very important that you are here.

I’m Kahlil and you’re receiving this email because at some point, you signed up for something related to my work—whether it was through Patreon, an event, or another platform where I share hidden and overlooked history.

Now, I’m bringing everything under one roof: History Can’t Hide, my new Substack newsletter!

Three times a week (or maybe more), you’ll get deep dives into the hidden histories I cover in my videos, expanding on the stories of erased cultures, suppressed narratives, and the forces that shape our world today. Or, as I once described it on TikTok, “the creepy, crazy, and covered up parts of American History”.

If you’ve ever wanted to go beyond the short-form content and get more insight, sources, and analysis, this is the place for you.

What You Can Expect:

✅ Free subscribers (which you already are if you are receiving this email) will receive regular essays and breakdowns of history’s most overlooked moments, connecting them to today’s biggest issues.

🔥 Paid subscribers will get access to that and exclusive content, including:

• The ability to comment and join discussions

• A community chat room to connect with others who care about history

• Behind-the-scenes footage, extra insights, and research notes that don’t make it into my public posts

Why Upgrade to Paid?

While my main offering (the newsletters) is available to everyone, I put hours of research into every video and newsletter I create, using sources like academic journals, newspaper archives, and historical records to combat misinformation. But research isn’t free—many sources require subscriptions, book purchases, and access to paid archives.

Your support helps me continue to:

• 📚 Invest in high-quality research to bring you the most accurate and well-sourced history content.

• 🎥 Expand production—I want to create longer, more in-depth videos across platforms like YouTube and video podcasts.

• 💼 Hire young historians and researchers, especially from underrepresented communities, to help uncover more stories.

• ✈️ Travel to historical sites and conduct primary source research for deeper storytelling.

If you’ve enjoyed my content in the past, I’d love for you to subscribe today and help me continue bringing these stories to light.

Tell me what you want to see!

Thank you for being part of this journey—let’s uncover the history they don’t want us to remember.

Best,
Kahlil
