EP 137 - Stockade

What this episode covers

*WARNING* - This episode contains terminology used to describe African Americans and may offend some listeners. However, it is used in the context of the story.  The high school girls were imprisoned. Why? The 1960’s in America were a decade of profound change and upheaval in society, culture and politics. The Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and political assassinations were to define the era. But there was another event which occurred that so few people even know about. It's a story which seems to have been forgotten by time and by history.
