Ep45. A Not So Famous Ride & Running Barefoot into the Olympics

We're kicking off Black History Month with stories of two women who took their fates into their own hands! First, Emily shares the story of Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl who refused to give up her seat on a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks' famous ride! Then, Kelley shares the story of Alice Coachman who was a self-trained track and field star who paved the way for other black female athletes! Get comfy and kick off your shoes, because it's time to wine about herstory!** Mornings with u by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeenMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US    Support the show10% Off Your First Month of BetterHelp: betterhelp.com/herstory www.buymeacoffee.com/wahpod Join the Funerary Cult: https://www.patreon.com/winingaboutherstorySponsor a Glass of Wine: https://buymeacoffee.com/wahpodGet Merch: https://wining-about-herstory.myspreadshop.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
