The Long and Interesting Career of Associate Justice William O. Douglass
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
OYEZ OYEZ OYEZ! It's October, which means the Supreme Court is back in session and the Rebeccas are digging into some of the history of the Court this month.
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court William O. Douglass is probably one of the most important Supreme Court Justices you probably know nothing about. Appointed by FDR, he remains the longest serving justice in the history of the court, at just over 36 years. Listen about his interesting life, his many controversies, and how he almost single-handedly saved the C&O Canal from turning into a parkway!

The Sinking of the RMS Lusitania
Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Most of us have at least heard of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania being one of the proximal causes of the United States entering WWI, but that isn't *entirely* true. As usual, there is more to the story!
Join the Rebeccas this week as they delve into the tragedy of this loss and learn how it differed in many ways from the other major maritime catastrophe of the era, the sinking of the Titanic.

Planting Seeds: The Washerwomen of Atlanta Strike

Thursday Sep 14, 2023
The beginning of September marks the end of summer, and though we all enjoy that last 3-day weekend to get those summer plans checked off, it's important to remember the WHY of Labor Day.
Join the Rebeccas as they dive into one of the earliest organized labor strikes, all the more remarkable because it was driven by mostly formerly enslaved women who could largely neither read nor write, just as Jim Crew began to raise its ugly specter on the "New South."

Join the Rebecca's as we veer away from our DC roots and tackle an important event in modern cultural history, an event that would come to become known as "The Day the Music Died" after a tribute song by Don McLean hit the charts 12 years after the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.
