Benjamin Park, Historian

Welcome to the channel! I’m Dr. Benjamin Park—historian, author, and unapologetic history geek. Also the current President of the Mormon History Association and yes, I have a seer stone 🔮

If you're tired of hearing that everything is unprecedented or nothing like this has ever happened before in our historical timeline, you're in the right place. This channel dives into the complex (and fascinating) intersections of American religion, politics, and culture. I bring history out of the ivory tower, making it relevant, accessible, and even a little fun. Expect weekly deep dives, quick takes on current events, book recommendations, and sharp insights from the past to help us understand our present. From Mormon history to the abolitionist movement and beyond, let’s unpack how we got here and where we might be going. Subscribe and geek out with me on the power of the past.
