In our continued honoring of the winged monkeys' unjust enslavement in The Wizard of Oz, Tara and EmKay hold the author himself accountable for past racial stains without quickly reaching for a Tide To Go pen. These stains are uncomfortable to stare at, but a part of the history we want to continue to unveil. Please proceed with listening caution.  This is the final episode in this week’s 3 part series. 

**Please note that when Tara shares the publication year of “Bandit Jim Crow” she meant 1906, not 2006 (It was a late night).  Gratitude to you for forgiving this hiccup.

As we are just beginning to dig into this sensitive material and subject matter, we would love to reiterate that our doors are always open for discussion and to hear your thoughts. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] or DM us on instagram @downtheybp. We are here for open conversations.
