Ep95. We're Not Gonna Take It & the Freedom Teacher

This week the ladies are talking school buses, trains, and cinema-worthy stories! First, Emily takes a listener suggestion and covers Barbara Johns Powell who, at only 16-years-old, led a student strike to protest the abysmal conditions of her school in the segregated American south. Then, Kelley tells the story of Ann Atwater, a civil rights activist who found an unlikely ally in a KKK Cyclops (yes, apparently that's a thing.) Buckle up for a hot seat belt debate and some angry sputtering, because it's time to wine about herstory!Want to see the video of this episode?
