    Me LOVES history (is the short answer) this podcast is AMAZING! Yk I do truly take a interest in history, especially the history we don’t learn in school. Tysm for making this podcast, I learned about Rosa Parks through a show and I find that claudette Colvin was very brave as she was a teenager and here rights we’re not the same as adults. I believe that people we don’t get to learn about though school are the bravest people EVER. (is the long answer.)
