On December 17, 1968, one of the most shocking kidnappings in U.S. history took place. A young college student, Barbara Mackle, was kidnapped right out of her hotel room. Some of the nation's top leaders of the time got involved, but was Barbara ever found? Were the perpetrators ever brought to justice?

Sometimes the historical moments I share on this podcast are great moments in history, sometimes they're shocking moments, and sometimes they're sad. Today's episode falls under that last category. On February 20, 1942, thousands of people with Japanese ancestry, including U.S. citizens, were rounded up and sent to Japanese internment camps. They were treated like criminals and forced to live in poor conditions. It was a terrible time in history for sure. What else was being reported on such a sad day?
