Go Hard or Go Home: The Mission of Carrie Nation
How far would you go to enforce the law? Probably not as far as “Saloon-wrecker” Carrie/Carry Nation! Nation became a strong proponent for the temperance movement following the death of her first husband to alcohol. To enforce the local prohibition laws, she took matters into her own hands, terrorizing saloons with rocks before upgrading to a hatchet. Join us today as Briana teaches us about “Hatchet Granny” and the effect this movement had on the United States as a whole. Sources we used for this episode: The Use and Need of the Life of Carry A.

The Forced Disappearance of the Ayotzinapa 43
When a group of students from a rural college in Guerrero, Mexico, attempted to find transportation to a protest, their arrival in nearby Iguala was not received well. Confronted by police, students and civilians were fired upon, killing 6 and injuring 25. Most egregious of all, 43 students were forcibly disappeared with hardly a trace in what is likely a case of state-sanctioned violence and collusion between the police and a local cartel.
