We're finishing Black History Month with three women who fought tooth and nail for their liberty- and WON! Kelley covers Millie and Christine McKoy, conjoined twins who were immediately exploited for their unique condition. It would take years for them to secure their freedom and independence. Then, Emily shares the story of Elizabeth Freeman, a woman born into slavery, but never lost her sense of self, and sued for her freedom. Stay away from the circus and always eaves drop, because we're wining about herstory!
