In this episode, Jude, Anna Corinne, and Chelsea sit down to discuss Martin Luther King Jr. day while talking about the gaps in their K12 civic education. They focus on how civic education has been whitewashed and sanitized to make it more comfortable to digest, and they mention some of the implications of that. They also shine a light on a few notable women of the civil rights era, who are often left out of the narrative.
