Paired: The Moton School Strike (w/ Memory Palace)

For the next few episodes, we’re re-posting some of our favorite recent conversations — alongside episodes from fellow Radiotopia shows that cover the same topic or theme.

Today, our episode about the 1951 school walkout in Farmville, Virginia, paired with an episode of The Memory Palace about the same event, led by Barbara Johns.

Thanks to Nate DiMeo for letting us run this episode, and be sure to check out The Memory Palace wherever you get your podcasts!
