Episode 38 - Diane Nash & Queen Nanny

This week we discuss two women fighting for change in their communities - albeit in very different ways. Michael discusses Diane Nash, a leader of the Civil Rights movement committed to non-violence, and Katie introduces us to Queen Nanny, a leader of the Jamaican maroon community who waged a guerilla war against the British. We also talk about Q Anon, voting, and the importance of political engagement.

Note: Because 2020 has been *gestures wildly at everything going on* we will be releasing our next few episodes out of order. This episode was originally intended to be the third in a series examining women from Kamala Harris' DNC acceptance speech. We hope to release parts one and two of that series soon. (Also, Michael references previous conversations about the show Black Sails - which are on episodes we recorded this summer but haven't been able to release yet. You're not missing any crucial context, but he would recommend you go watch the show. You can skip most of the first season.)
