History is a big subject. Many sub-genres. I like the ones that aren't covered in mainstream history books that often, or at least kept out of public curricula.
For these, try:

Kudos on the Black Wall Street mention
Adam Curtis had great stuff. Yes its BBC. Century of Self is one of the best.
Hm, looks like you're a man of culture.
Downfall. It's the best docu-drama out there about Hitler's final days. Most of the movie tales place in his bunker. Real life story too just portrayed by actors. it's in German with US.subtitles.
I also recommend the book "America in the 1960's" I had to read it in college for my 1960's history class. Probably my favorite timeframe of US history with all the progress we made in regards to civil liberties and other big milestones..
Hmm, I'm pretty saturated in regards to WW 1 & 2, 1960's America, however, might be something.
Differences in race were still a thing then, right?
It still is today, just reversed. Federal government imposed penalties on white men today (quotas for government jobs and tax breaks for the private sector), while it was mainly state governments against blacks in the 60's. Keep the slaves fighting each other, and they will ignore the master.
Hopefully the end of affirmative action will help , long overdue since LBJ executive order
You racist fucks. Affirmative action was necessary and still is necessary. It's the only reason minorities aren't passed over for white students with lower grades by prestigious schools like ivy League schools. Overturning it is going to do so much damage to the diversity of those schools and others, but I forgot, you guys hate diversity and inclusion and think The United States should be/is a "white nation."
🖕🖕
Looks like these three ain't gonna be friends.
Asian enrollment will increase without affirmative action.
The plaintiffs in the recent Supreme Court cases were Asian not white.
At Harvard there was an Asian tax of 400 points on the sat relative to black scores. That discrepancy is too high

What interests you will depend entirely on you, but I think — at minimum — someone living in 2024 should understand World War 1.
In the future, historians will still consider the year "2024" part of the aftermath of World War 1.
Oh really? Why's that?
Plutarch's Parallel Lives - especially where he narrates the lives of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar
Hm! 👍
