M is for Martyrs: Medgar Evers & John Brown

Encyclopedia Obscura

This week Casey and Karen educate themselves on two people who shaped America but they never learned about in the classroom. Casey covers Medgar Evers, a civil rights movement hero, while Karen travels a little further back in time (but not by much) to talk about John Brown.
