Speaker 1: I'm here in my top secret underground booker as usual,

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm with my team of sound engineer raccoons.

Speaker 2: that the way I walk.

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Is nearly running, but we have no time to waste

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: because today's historical figure is Claude Colvin. Luckily, the conditions

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: for historical research are perfect. It's a beautiful day inside

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: my top secret underground. It might even be a beautiful

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: day outside my top secret underground Bucker. To be honest,

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know.

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: I haven't been outside in a week.

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: What, Tuna, that's crazy. You want me to go outside

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: right now? Why would I do that?

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: Whow Tina? When you're right? You're right?

22
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Going outside is critical for my mental health. We have

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: a lot to do, but I should take a quick

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: moment to look outside and feel the sun on my face. Okay,

25
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: I'll just pick out this emergency exit.

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: And why did I do that? It Historical record. You

Speaker 2: are now listening to historical work.

28
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: To make history, you got to have struggles to make history.

29
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: You got to show pois.

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Cannot be quiet loud as the right to make history to.

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,440

00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: cannot take your word.

39
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Worry.

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: I'll come on disembodied robot boile.

41
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: That night in one minute, or the authorities will be cold.

42
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, I hate bureaucracy. Also one minute. That's not

43
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: a lot of wickle room. And I don't even know

44
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: where to turn off the securities and stuff. Tina, what

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: aren't we gonna do?

46
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: Wait? We have a security center I passed yesterday. That

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: must be where we have to turn this thing off.

48
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: If I'm remembering correctly, it's directly below us, about forty

49
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: stories down. Come on, raccoons, we'll take the stairs. Ah,

50
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: you're right, we won't get there fast enough. Brilliant idea, Tina.

51
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: We'll jump down the garbage chuot and it'll take us

52
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: straight there. Raccoon, you go first. Now to fold myself

53
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: in half and fit into the carbet suit. I really

54
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: my soft Oh that's nice, Tina? How nice is this? Am? I?

55
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: Right?

56
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: Okay, no time, We got to turn this thing off.

57
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: You have.

58
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: All right, Let's open up the breaker and see what

59
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: where were you with? Oh? No, that is a lot

60
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: of plugs and wires.

61
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: Recommendation the wrong wire?

62
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: Not good, Tina. Any ideas I got you? Honey? Mama?

63
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: What are you doing here?

64
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: Well, sweetie, for one, I thought I help you turn

65
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: off the alarm. Trust me, you do not want to

66
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: deal with all that paperwork.

67
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: You're right about that.

68
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 4: I just got to pull out the right plug.

69
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: I did not see this coming, Mama. You sure you

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: know which one to pull? It's this one, I think.

71
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: Shut down? You did it? Now, give me a second.

72
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: I gotta boot it back up.

73
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: We don't want any and you just getting in here.

74
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: And two days don't stand I can.

75
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: How on the world did you know how to do that?

76
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: Honey, I set up the whole security system.

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: You did, Yes, you had a lot on your plate

78
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: at the time.

79
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to hear way more about that, but

80
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: right now I'm running a little behind, and I have

81
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: to track down one of my historians. Of course, I'll

82
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: see you later, okay, Ma, Bye, Honey.

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: I'm proud of you. Listeners, keep up with me.

84
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: We're walk running to the library, and while we're on

85
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: the move, I need to level with you.

86
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: The good news is that I have a truly sick

87
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: be lined up for today.

88
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: The slightly less good news is that I really do

89
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: not know much about today's historical figure. I mean, I

90
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 1: know Claudette Covin was a part of the civil rights

91
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: movement fighting for equal rights for black people in America,

92
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: but obviously I.

93
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: Need more than that. And here we are at the

94
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: gigantic library. Gosh, I love it in here. So now

95
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: we just need to find Lead so she can give

96
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: us some historical help. That was a weird echo.

97
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: That sounded nothing like me anyway, Like I was saying

98
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: because I don't have enough info right now.

99
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: I guess you could say I'm stuck. I'm stuck.

100
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't be the only one hearing that bad

101
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: echo that sounds nothing like my voice.

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: Nimini, I'm not an echo, it's me Lee. I'm trapped

103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: under a giant book.

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: Whoa look at the giant book.

105
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm coming one, two, three.

106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: Woo few Oh that is much better, Lee.

107
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: I know you like to bury your head in a book,

108
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 2: but that was a bit much.

109
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: It was actually really informative until the emotional weight of

110
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: history and the actual weight of that huge book became

111
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: too much. Anyway, are you ready to immerse yourself in history.

112
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: As long as you know what mean trapping ourselves under

113
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: that book?

114
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely well, then step into the history simulator.

115
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Lee, with respect.

116
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: I wish the history simulator didn't look like a gooey

117
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: alien pod.

118
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: I'll consider that feedback for my next simulator.

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, where are we heading.

120
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 3: To see a very brave young woman who refuses to

121
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: give up her seat on the bus Claudet Covin.

122
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait wait, I thought that was Rosa Parks.

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: Rosa Parks refuse to give up per seat, But Claudette

124
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: Colvin did it first.

125
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: Well, it's a twist. I had no idea. You know what,

126
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: before we go.

127
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 3: Visit Claudette Colvin. Let's bop around a bit. Get the

128
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: full context.

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: I like it.

130
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: Nineteen sixty four.

Speaker 3: Those four dudes are the Beatles and this is their

135
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: USA debut on the Ex Sullivan Show. There was so

136
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: much exciting stuff at this time.

137
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: Who you gotta warm me when we're taking off?

138

Speaker 1: Hm, why do I feel like we're witnessing one of

152
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,040

161
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: For four days, people came out all along the march route,

162
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: dressed in their Sunday best, to sit on their porches

163
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 3: and wave at the marchers, cheering with support and admiration.

164
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: And at each town more marchers of all agists joined

165
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 3: the group, waving American flags and making front page headlines

166
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: in the newspapers.

167
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: And once this huge crowd gets to the capitol, what

168
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: do they do.

169
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: They're going to deliver a petition signed by black voters

170
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: demanding an end to discriminatory voting registration practices.

171
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Wait, so you mean to tell me that even though

172
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: black people have the right to vote in nineteen sixty four,

173
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: some people would still try to stop them from voting.

174
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 3: Exactly, many states would use racist strategies like intentionally confusing

175
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 3: and misleading literacy tests to prevent black voters from successfully registering.

176
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: That's horrible, it.

177
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: Was, which is why activists were organizing and fighting to

178
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: draw attention to their cause.

179
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: And luckily this march did just that.

180
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: It did, but even that was a struggle. The first

181
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: two times they attempted a march to Montgomery, they were

182
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: met with violent resistance from Heckler's and state police. Awful

183
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: images broadcast on black TVs shocked people in households across

184
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: the country, and even motivated the President to provide US

185
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: Army troops and the Alabama National Guard to protect the

186
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: marchers on their third attempt.

187
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like it took so much organizing and fighting.

188
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Is that Martin Luther King Junior giving a speech?

189
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: Indeed it is, Oh, I know this part, oh, and

190
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: it gives me chills every time. This is where doctor

191
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: King says, I come.

192
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: To say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment,

193
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: however frustrate, in the hour, it will not be long

194
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: because truth crust to earth will rise again.

195
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.

196
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: How long? Not long?

197
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: Because you shall reap what you sow how long? Not long,

198
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: because the arc of the moral universe is long, but

199
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: it bends toward justice.

200
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: Imy, you really know that speech?

201
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I have the whole thing memorized. But where does

202
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: Claudette Covin come into this?

203
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,479
Speaker 1: And now did a southern city Liketgomery, Alabama become.

204
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: The center for the civil rights movement?

205
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: Phenomenal questions? Let's stay in Montgomery by go back a

206
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: little further and take a look.

207
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: I know where we are, but I don't know when

208
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: we are And why are black and white people drinking

209
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: from different wire fountains over there?

210
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: It's nineteen fifty five, ten years before the Voting Rights March,

211
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: a time when people were separated by the color of

212
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: their skin. This is called segregation, and according to a

213
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: set of laws called Jim Crow Laws that have been

214
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: around since the end of the Civil War, it's legal.

215
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: That's about one hundred years of laws invented to make

216
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: life harder for black Americans. There are separate drinking fountains, elevators,

217
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: hospital bathrooms and breakrooms, swimming pools, churches, lunch counters. The

218
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: list goes on and.

219
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: On and buses. Black Americans were forced to sit in

220
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: the back of buses.

221
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: And in Montgomery, forty thousand black residents ride the buses.

222
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: That's seventy five percent of the total riders in the city.

223
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: And yet they are legally forced to enter through the

224
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: overcrowded back door of the bus, sit in the back seats,

225
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: and give up their seats for any white passengers who

226
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: want to sit down.

227
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: But if we're in nineteen fifty five, didn't the federal

228
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: government at least order schools to be integrated in nineteen

229
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: fifty four?

230
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 6: Everyone should be allowed to go to school together. Right, Absolutely,

231
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 6: that's what the law said. But the reality in Montgomery

232
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 6: and almost everywhere in the South is that some white

233
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 6: people were still fighting to keep people apart, and the

234
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 6: schools Black children are forced to attend are almost always

235
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 6: the least funded, with the poorest quality supplies, books, and classrooms.

236
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: How are those kids supposed to learn?

237
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: Luckily, there's an organization called the n double ACP, the

238
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The branch

239
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: here in Montgomery was the first in all of Alabama

240
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 3: and was founded way back in nineteen thirteen.

241
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: Cool I know about the NUBLEACP.

242
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Their goal is to educate and organize folks in the

243
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: community to fight back against segregation and other types of

244
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: discrimination so that black people can get the respect and

245
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: opportunities they deserve.

246
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: Precisely and recognizing the needs of black children in Montgomery,

247
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 3: the n DOUBLEACP started a youth group and guess who

248
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: they put in charge of shaping young minds Rosa Parks.

249
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: That's right, And what's really wild is that the thing

250
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: Rosa Parks is most famous for was actually done by

251
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 3: a fifteen year old girl from her youth group, Claude Covin.

252
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Haha, bingo, Wow, it's all coming together. But Lee, why

253
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: didn't quant At Covin get to be as famous as

254
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Rosa Parks.

255
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: Well, even though she was the first to do it,

256
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: the movement knew that she was super young and had

257
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 3: other things going on like being the kid. So the

258
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: movement chose to set up Rosa Parks to be nationally

259
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: recognized for protesting on a bus.

260
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: I truly had no idea about all that behind the

261
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: scenes stuff that made the civil rights movement possible.

262
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, even though Rosa Parks famous protests seems spontaneous, everything

263
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: was meticulously planned. Same with the March to Montgomery. It

264
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: took several tries and a ton of organization.

265
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lee, that was incredibly helpful. I think I

266
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: have enough information now for the song. Will you take

267
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: us back to my top secret bunker.

268
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: Of course.

00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: We're back.

270
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: Yes.

271
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Oh, and I'm late for a recording session, but luckily

Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know about the juicy tidbit.

290
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Couldn't be the face of the movement because I wasn't

291
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: really because of my complexion. I'm never in the press.

292

Speaker 2: Nine before Rosa, there was Claude Gorman, and it began woman.

297
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: Did you know.

298
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't give up my seat? Nine months before Rosa,

299
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: he was Claude Gorman. Let me start from the beginning.

300
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: My dad left Mama's wallet. Was thim mean?

301
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: See, I was born Claude Dad Austin. Then I went

302
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: to live with my uncle and my aunt, and that's

303
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: how I got the name.

304
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: Calvin. Had a little sister e. I was like, oh

305
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: this lost her to poly yoga.

306
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: I only knows my pain. I was so to yo

307
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: logically strange. Looking to Washington High School. I started going

308
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: there in nineteen fifty two. I was in the city,

309
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: a place I couldn't want to so ride in the

310
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: buses what I had to do. It was nineteen fifty five.

311
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: I didn't give up my seat. They called the police

312
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: and they arrested in me. But I had been learning

313
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: that by my ancestry. And then the youth come up

314
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: with inaa Steve pay So what said, I know my

315
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: constitutional race.

316
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: There was an empty roberside and he said, this isn't right,

317
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: Jim Cross.

318
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: The black kids sent across from the white we always

319
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: got to be behind them. And this said, I'm like,

320
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: put me off the plus. I didn't fight work bus.

321
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: I didn't feel fear because I was young and tough.

322
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: To put me in an adult fell with no phone call.

323
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: But my friends went to find my mom.

324
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: And it began with me now before there was clad Covin,

325
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: And it begin with me, did you know?

326

00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: I wouldn't give up my seat? Now before.

328
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: One year later, we had brought a versus gil I

Speaker 1: had failed by the bust and we wasn't gonna take

331
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: in the federal court. They made that decision the Supreme Court.

332
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: They made that decision that the bus segregation was against

333
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: the constitution.

334
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: And they ended up permanent lead. And it began with me,

335
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,320

Speaker 1: The city of Montgomery, Alabama, declared, Mark second Claudette Colvin day.

341
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after a few words for the

Speaker 2: grown ups. Wow, that was incredible, and while.

343
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,879

344
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: thinking about my own life.

345
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: Funny how history can inform the present. Hot listeners. Hey, Danna,

349
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: in five minutes, but I've got to do something first.

350
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: Now do you mind if I borrow your scooter? Thanks? Tina? Right?

Speaker 2: what you're doing in here?

355
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 5: Just looking at old pictures?

356
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: Look at this one? Oh it's me as a teenager.

357
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: Honey, that's a picture of me.

358
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 2: Wow, we really do look alike. Huh strong jeans baby.

359
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: Anyway, Mama, I wanted to ask more about you setting

360
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: up the security system.

361
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 2: I still can't believe you did that.

362
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 4: Well, get in a top secret bunker up and running

363
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: is no small test, and I was thrilled to be

364
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 4: able to pitch in, so I pulled some permits, get

365
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 4: the security system Paratina and the other raccoons and tell

366
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: them how to use all the sound equipment.

367
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: Just some behind the scene details. You low key paved

368
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: the way for my dream.

369
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 4: You're not the first person in this family to love

370
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 4: history and hip hop, and I thought your idea to

371
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 4: combine them was genius.

372
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: I had no idea. You did so much to make

373
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: this happen.

374
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: In my experience, whenever something big happens, it takes a

375
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 4: lot of people to pull it off.

376
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: I'm learning that, yeah, and not everyone can be the

377
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: face of a movement. Some people have to set up

378
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: the security system.

379
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Mom, I love you and I really appreciate your support.

380
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: I love you too. Oh look my old roller blades pow.

381
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,840

00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: helmet here great call.

383
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: Okay, listeners, it's time to go meet two totally extraordinary people.

384
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Down the hall and left and avoid the stairs this

385
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: time by using the elevator. Not sure what I didn't

386
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: take the elevator before, but you know, you'll have a

387
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: new arn. And speaking of warning, we have arrived at

388
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: the room where I have video calls. Today we're meeting

389
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: two incredible people. Hi, Roxanne and Stella, can you kick

390
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: things off by introducing yourselves.

391
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 5: My name is Roxanne Gay. I'm a space cowboy and

392
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 5: I'm skidding. My name is Roxanne Gay. I am a writer,

393
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 5: a teacher, and an editor.

394
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 7: My name is Stella Carolina and I am six years old.

395
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 7: My favorite sing in life is TV.

396
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: Hi, Notxane.

397
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Hi, Stella, Stella, what were you hoping to learn from

398
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: Roxanne about Claudette Colvin?

399
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 7: Why do kids learn about Roseparks but not Claudette Colvin.

400
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 5: That's a great question, Stella. You know there are a

401
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 5: couple of reasons. One, when Claudette Colvin refused to give

402
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 5: up to her seat to a white woman, she was

403
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 5: a teenager and at the time, and quite frankly, even now,

404
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 5: people don't always take kids seriously. So Rosa Parks when

405
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 5: she refused to give up her seat, she was older,

406
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 5: she was a professional, she had, you know, the right

407
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 5: skin tone, she had the right kind of hair, and

408
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: so leaders of the civil rights movement thought that Rosa

409
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: Parks might be a better person to represent the entire movement.

410
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 5: But you know that doesn't take away from what Claudette

411
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 5: Colvin did.

412
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 7: How much has changed with civil rights since Claudet Colvin

413
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 7: were the key.

414
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 5: When Claudette Colvin first refused to give up her seat

415
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 5: on that bus in Alabama, things were really different. And

416
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 5: we still deal with racism and other forms of bigotry now,

417
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 5: but most of the laws that made it possible for

418
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: Claudette Covin to be arrested no longer exist. We no

419
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 5: longer live ideally in a segregated society. Everyone gets to

420
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 5: live together and share our communities together. We are more

421
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 5: able to point out injustice when we see it. And

422
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, cell phone cameras have done an

423
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 5: incredible amount of good because now we can provide evidence

424
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 5: of the issues that we deal with, particularly with police

425
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 5: and other sort of forms of public racism that we

426
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 5: see on a day to day basis. So things are

427
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 5: getting better, but we shouldn't get comfortable because we have

428
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 5: so much left to do, Like how much to do?

429
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: You know?

430
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 5: I think about that every single day. Every single day

431
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 5: I wonder like, hmm, is this something we're going to

432
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 5: solve in my lifetime? I will say that we have

433
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: to continue to fight for civil rights until lawmakers can

434
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 5: no longer decide which rights we're allowed to have and

435
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: so right now we have quite a ways left to go,

436
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 5: but at least we know where we're headed.

437
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: Stella, do you have any questions for Roxanne about her

438
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: work or career?

439
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 7: Are you Roxton part of making change now?

440
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: Well, one of the key things I try to do

441
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 5: in my work is to talk about the issues that

442
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 5: I find to be most pressing in ways that everyone

443
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: will be able to connect to. And I always try

444
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 5: to bring attention to the people who are taking the

445
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 5: really big risks by protesting and sometimes even having to

446
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 5: engage with law enforcement and doing some of the really

447
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 5: challenging things that can come along with living the life

448
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: of an activist.

449
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 7: How can I be an activist?

450
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: You know?

451
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 5: One of the best ways that you can be an activist,

452
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 5: especially at your age, is to pay attention to the

453
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 5: news and ask questions about the world and the people

454
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 5: that we elect as our leaders and the issues that

455
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 5: we should all be caring about.

456
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: Wow, does this mean that anyone can be an activist?

457
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 5: Anyone can be an activist? All you have to do

458
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: is care about yourself and other people and the world

459
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: that we live in. If you do that, you are

460
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 5: already well on your way to being an activist.

461
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 7: I already do that, yes see.

462
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: I mean look at you. You're an activist already, and

463
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 5: I think that's amazing. I think more people should be

464
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 5: willing to be an activist because there are a lot

465
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 5: of problems in this world and it's going to take

466
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 5: all of us to solve them.

467
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: This husband so great. Thank you both for being here.
