Episode 52 - Boys Town, NE
from Pull Over · host Richard L Burr
In 1917, a priest named Father Flanagan borrowed $90 to house five homeless boys, taking them in regardless of race or religion. By 1934 it had grown into an actual incorporated Nebraska village with its own government — and the 1938 MGM movie about it won Spencer Tracy a Best Actor Oscar that's still on display there today.
