Spoiler Alert: Your 4th grade teacher probably failed you. 

This week, Cassidy is joined by Logan to talk about the woman who spent 70+ years working in civil rights, only for her legacy to be minimized to one brief, albeit important, moment. As you'll soon understand, the full story of Rosa Parks is actually much more interesting. Stick around to learn about Jim Crow laws, the NAACP, the Scottsboro Boys, the Recy Taylor case, poll taxes, young Martin Luther King Jr., the Montgomery bus boycott, and Parks' long life in Detroit.
