Happy MLK Day! This weekend we are celebrating one of the best civil rights activists, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. From HOT-Lanta to Alabama, MLK helped with legislative equality in America during the 1960s. Before he came along, there was Jim Crow Laws, KKK, and just racism in general. MLK fought for equality, but he did it PEACEFULLY, shout out Gandhi !! He worked with leaders and almost died a few times doing it. The FBI was suspicious and they started to listen into his calls! Watch the whole episode and tell us your thoughts on MLK!!!

This week Chris Distefano AKA Christories is coming to you talking about the A BOMB ! That's right, the atomic bomb! Everyone thinks it was a direct response to Japan's attack of Pearl Harbor, but it wasn't! It was for many other reasons, such as the Treaty of Versailles, Nanjing Massacre and for not surrendering! We got FDR running the show, talking to congress to let us join the war, Winston Churchill telling us we got to help him with the Nazis, it's just a whole mess!

We finally get Russia to help and get a team together to create a bomb. Enter Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer! He was not the father of the A Bomb but definitely a great father figure!! They make the atomic bombs, yes TWO bombs, in New Mexico even though it was called the Manhattan Project -- what?! It was very unfortunate, but yes we dropped TWO nuclear bombs. 

Tell us what you think in the comments!
