Reclaiming the Swastika

One boat, two families; trying to escape war in Syria, desperate to start a new life in Europe. In October 2013, dozens of migrants aboard that boat died, as it travelled across the Mediterranean Sea. But some eventually made it to Malta. What happened next? 

The richest man of all time was 14th Century monarch King Mansa Musa, who reigned over Mali from 1312 to 1337. His fortune came from gold and salt, and control of trade routes. 

Robert and Chelsey Weber-Smith discuss the surprisingly ancient history of the Swastika, and how it was a part of everyone before the Nazis stole it.
