Episode 27 - Mother Jones & Watts Rebellion


Listen Later

It's powerful protests and working class uprisings this week. Emily details the life of Mother Jones and her lifelong fight to protect worker's rights as we go on a few tangents related to Unionization. Then Brenton covers the Watts Rebellion and how riots and protests are only a symptom of much larger injustices.
