These are the stories behind the names that shaped culture, music, protest, and deception. History should be shortâbut never forgotten.

In 1939, a 23-year-old man with the mental capacity of a six-year-old was executed in Colorado for a crime he almost certainly didnât commit. His name was Joseph Arridy. Nicknamed the "happiest man on death row," Joseph was coerced into confessing to a brutal murder he couldnât have understoodâlet alone committed.
In this episode of 10 Minute History, we uncover the heartbreaking story of Joseph Arridy, the flawed investigation that led to his death, and how his tragic case became a powerful example of justice gone wrong.

The Zong Massacre (1781) was one of the most horrific atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade. Aboard the British slave ship Zong, over 130 enslaved Africans were deliberately thrown overboard into the Atlantic Ocean so the ship’s owners could claim insurance money for "lost cargo." The crew justified the killings by arguing that there wasn’t enough water to sustain all those on board—a claim later disproven.When the case reached court, the issue wasn’t murder—it was insurance fraud. The enslaved people were treated as property, and the court debated financial compensation rather than accountability for mass murder. The case sparked outrage among abolitionists like Olaudah Equiano and Granville Sharp, helping to galvanize the anti-slavery movement in Britain.The Zong Massacre remains a chilling reminder of how human lives were commodified under slavery—and how injustice can be embedded in law.
