Episode Details

California’s state parks are handing out free Historian Passports—normally $50—to access over 30 historic sites from June 17 to July 6, timed around Juneteenth and Independence Day. Governor Newsom’s office frames this as a bold stand against federal efforts to sanitize American history, especially those tied to the Trump administration. It’s not the first time California has used free access as protest, and the pass—valid for four people through 2026—invites everyone to confront the state’s complex past. Meanwhile, federal agencies have removed exhibits linking explorers to Native massacres and even a rainbow flag at Stonewall, sparking legal battles. If you’re in California, now’s your chance to explore history unfiltered—grab your free pass before July 6.
