Our first ever "Watch with History" segment compares the 1969 and 2010 versions of the movie "True Grit." While the 2010 version has better cinematography, the hosts prefer the characters and humor in the 1969 version. Both versions follow the story of a young girl seeking revenge for her father's murder in the American Old West. The movie captures the spirit of the frontier and explores themes of determination, loyalty, and redemption.

Video version (lots of great movie scene cut-ins!)

Living in Memphis, Tennessee for 3 years taught us more than we expected about Civil Rights history.

On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr., an American civil rights leader, was assassinated while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. The assassination of King was a shock to the nation and led to widespread outrage and protests.

In the days following King's assassination, over 100 cities in the United States experienced riots, looting, and violence. The National Guard was called in to restore order in many of these cities.

King's assassination also led to a renewed sense of urgency in the civil rights movement. Many activists redoubled their efforts to end segregation and discrimination, and King's message of nonviolent resistance continued to inspire and motivate people around the world.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island was an early attempt by English settlers to establish a permanent colony in North America and was established in 1587 on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina, by Governor John White and around 120 settlers.

Shortly after arriving, Governor White returned to England to secure more supplies and support for the colony. However, due to various reasons such as a war with Spain, White was delayed in his return for three years. When he finally returned in 1590, he found the colony abandoned with no trace of its inhabitants, except for the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree.

The fate of the Lost Colony has been a subject of debate and speculation for centuries.

Rose Greenhow was a socialite and a well-known political hostess in Washington D.C. during the 1850s. Due to her Southern ties she eventually, became a Confederate spy and used her social connections to gather information and pass it on to Confederate generals. Her intelligence-gathering skills were valuable to the Confederacy, and she became one of their most successful spies.

In 1861, Rose Greenhow sent a message to Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard, warning him of Union troops' movements before the First Battle of Bull Run. This information helped the Confederacy win the battle and kick off the American Civil War.

Join us as we talk about one of the most famous female spies of all time.
