Episode 157: Chill Pill | 1951 Bagel Strike and Christopher Wright
Hillary and Tina cover the 1951 Bagel Strike and former Dawson, GA mayor, Christopher Wright.
Hillary’s Story
Bagels have been a staple in the US since the late 19th Century. BUT a famine hits when Bagel workers strike for more dough.
Tina’s Story
Christopher Wright made history as Dawson Georgia’s youngest mayor in 2012. But it’s the actions that led Wright down the wrong path that ended in an indictment.
