Friends In Isolation

Happy Thursday, Isolators!

Heather and Hailee are back with another history lesson and an update on current events. Between the RNC, the shooting of Jacob Blake, Kenosha riots, and more, we had a lot to cover. Heather teaches us the history of Jim Crow laws and how America has struggled with division around racism for decades. 

Jim Crow Laws History Lesson starts around the 30 minute mark!
