Listen "S243-HB Disney’s Hidden Animator"
Episode Synopsis
Floyd Norman was Disney’s first Black animator, yet his name was buried while his work shaped classics like Sleeping Beauty and The Jungle Book. In this episode of The Median Society’s History Beat, host Anthony Mitchell uncovers Norman’s overlooked legacy, contrasts Walt Disney’s selective credit-giving, and shares listener letters on other hidden Black history figures. A powerful reminder that history doesn’t hide itself—people choose to bury it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
