Speaker 5 (08:30):
Almost had a readership.

Speaker 22 (08:31):

Tablets full of design and fabric colors. Your fashion is
one thing, The style is another.

My joy.

Speaker 22 (08:45):
A freedom to love imagine us brand news, but it's
still classing. Yes, I made clothes. Yes, I love the sew.

Now for the culture.

Speaker 22 (10:03):
No decoys, street bustle and loud crowns, the sweet noise.
These are the things I mean when I speak joy.
In twenty five mail off designs, I chose.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
So you can chill or if you want to profile
and pose.

Speaker 22 (10:14):
And I don't make clothes for the queen. I'm making
for the people on the street who way better limousine.
I did it for us, those kids on the front,
stupid beautiful ladies who need a cute news suits. You
don't have to be safe to have taste. Make it
oversize plus neon green and at lace whatever. I lived
my life with no regrets. Being true to myself meant
more than my success. I never claimed to be the

rule was blatantly unfair and wrong.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
I'm teaching school. I'm not running a marathon.

Speaker 18 (16:03):
Board of Education of New York was not the paragone
of equity I needed.

Speaker 7 (16:07):
So I sued them, put the pressure on.

Speaker 30 (16:09):

How about I'm sending ash now. We on a mission
to improve the positions.

Speaker 28 (17:09):
Of people who won't be hidden, will be told that
we don't fit in. So we went to a building
and started what's called the city. That's where you show
up on fitting and basically get to sit. We stay
twenty six days without a stock, wouldn't move even when
they brought the army and the cops. It was worth
it when we finally got our props, and when we
got the regulations that we wanted.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
From our arms and we learned the space of fact.
People don't clean up their axe just for kicks. Need
a nudge and a push.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
And a flick.

a lot of things, but basically the revolutionary wants to
change the nature of society in a way to promote
a world where.

Speaker 17 (18:27):
The needs and entries of the people are responding to.

Speaker 22 (18:30):
The Before Lebron was a king, before Jordan won rings,
before Shaking, I came and magic in Kareem one man
on one seam rank completely supreme? Am I blowing too
much steam to say that man was me? Bill Russell
is the name? And how do you do? Thirteen years
in the game and still I only lost two times
in the finals. That's eleven titles. No man in this
sport has come close to being my rival. I was

(18:52):
the subject of library and prejudice, taunts, black and in
Boston not two things that you want to be Ui Koumi, Yes, sir,
How did I thrive under oh so much pressure? How
did I triumph on every measure while also uniting all
my people together? And just how did my leadership lead
to our glory? Sit down and listen, y'all, because this

Speaker 8 (19:14):
He defense and he defensa right. He's a champion on
the court.

After five ed bounce and he bounce.

Speaker 8 (19:28):
Four of the fresh city, he goes down the court,
and he goes down in history.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
My youth, you could say it was a little bit rough.

Speaker 22 (19:38):
Mama died at twelve, and Dad he went gruff, grew up,
dirt poor, and there was never enough. My only hope
was the hoop and get tough, so hoop that I
did so. University of San Francisco old centers went slow,
but me, I was nimble. They changed the rules to
put me through some pitfalls. I juked the gears and
still bought through the insults. I press continued, was drafted

(19:59):
and went to six Olympics, got gold in that window
post Uni COOKI oh that one the NBA rookie and
guess what we still won? Then I'm won eight more
Celtics made me the coach while also still plays.

champion on the court. They're the champion of the five.
He bounce around and bree bounds four of the fresh city.
He goes down the court, and he goes down in history.

Speaker 22 (20:39):
I am Bill Russell, most athletic on the court, but
I still hustle, and I will tussle with any man
who stands in the way of progress. And that's in
the lane in the streets. In the Congress sixty one,
an exhibition game of Celtics versus the Hawks of Lexington, Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
We expected curses when we went to a.

Speaker 22 (20:56):
Cafe to try to get some service. Instead they acted
nervous and we're used the surface a curve, yes, for sure,
but still we had a purpose showing what these boys got.
So we let a boycott put their.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Feet us of the furnace.

Speaker 22 (21:08):
We made noises, truth to the surface. We hit them
with our voices. A march with a million men in
MLK met with Muhammad Ali just to mold a better day.
If they threatening your rights, well then you must get

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Open your mind and imagine the time we're.

Speaker 16 (22:48):
In the quality Itian poverty of the ride, which is
holded by a small court group monop believe not on
the game board, they be up inside the boardroom. And
the newspaper's supposed to be mad at only injured sending
profit in the news an ad breech field of pocket,
while the poor gaden field with raids.

Speaker 12 (23:05):
That's living life day to day.

Speaker 16 (23:07):
In the guilded age Sureno the century nineteen oh one.
The USA is of power, but in troubling the long
run journalism yellow and the wealth control by fellas.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Just like John D.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Rockefeller man, the people need a truth.

Speaker 16 (23:19):
Teller, someone Feller, an extra special writer with the quality
is a truth from perseverance up inside the A fighter
for the week.

Speaker 12 (23:26):
Two the stronger than Kobita.

Speaker 15 (23:28):
Last name Tarbell, first name Ida, lifting up the league like.

Speaker 17 (23:34):
A pardal.

Speaker 24 (23:39):
And suring off an angel sism time where.

Speaker 16 (23:44):
Breaking all the pluck. She's a journalistic marvel, the.

Speaker 32 (23:50):
Making sure I always stay impartial.

Speaker 15 (23:53):
When I was a youth, my dad was part of
the crew of small oil well producers using rail to
move crude until a du named Rockefeller came through and
pulled a coup, made.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
A truce with the trains, and soon the proved and
it was screwed.

Speaker 33 (24:04):
Oh.

Speaker 15 (24:04):
I was mad, but had no way to make come up,
and was just a young girl in the lower class.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
I was mailing upper crust.

Speaker 12 (24:10):
He had to take the punches, wait with made the
bread and other.

Speaker 15 (24:12):
Trusts, stuney hard, and dide my time till I could
throw my upper Listen.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
Meanwhile, meet John D. Ib He came a true tighten
up the industry.

Speaker 16 (24:21):
Some called the Robbert Baron because he swindled to a
mass fun.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Most were taken in by my big fortune and my charities.

Speaker 32 (24:27):
Yes, my foils sounded standard oil.

Speaker 15 (24:29):
And soon he had more money than the royals, while
I toil in Paris pending her pieces to noble claim
if this quickly anybody out there even knew the name.

Speaker 24 (24:41):
Printing, not the meat like the prime, It's sure enough.
Ronandraism far where breaking all the much. She's a journalistic marvel.

Speaker 32 (24:58):
But making sure I always stay in part.

Speaker 16 (25:01):
Aida as a writer was audacious, her appetite for research
respirations facing only a matter of time before she set
her best investigative skills on the man from her past.

Speaker 15 (25:12):
John Rockefeller, who do my dad back in the day,
became the subject of my magazine's next expo.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
We got ourselves a showdown.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Now you could call it high new writer with the grub.

Speaker 16 (25:21):
First, the big budget ty whu Night is on the case,
learning anything she can learn, documents, photographs.

Speaker 32 (25:27):
I've even talked to inter the biggest breaker ride.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
When she interviewed John number two, we talked to Henry,
Oh that's bad News.

Speaker 16 (25:34):
The series came in nineteen parts of Standard Oil's history, Backroom.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Deal's corruption fraud.

Speaker 15 (25:39):
It finally solved the mystery of how Dundee to frauded Dad.
I got revenge from my high line and taught the
world the name of the woman.

Speaker 13 (25:45):
On the byeline, bringing out the meat like a bar.

Speaker 11 (25:54):
It's suing.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
All ronan sisms are well.

Speaker 11 (26:00):
Breaking all the musks. She's a journalistic marvel.

Speaker 32 (26:05):
But making sure I always stay impartial.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Results wasn't led to justice.

Speaker 16 (26:10):
The laws got more robust than the sherman neck.

Speaker 12 (26:12):
I passed stand and busted all the trust up.

Speaker 15 (26:14):
People's trusting journalists adjusted, and the huckster Rockefeller lost his luster.

Speaker 16 (26:23):
Rinking nothing meat like a park, taking down the pluocratic cartel.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
No fear.

Speaker 24 (26:34):
Breaking all the MUCKs. She's a journalistic marvel.

Speaker 32 (26:39):
I guess I wasn't always so impartial.

Speaker 16 (26:42):
Yeah, yeah, she really she really was not that impartial
at all.

Speaker 11 (26:47):
Yeah, I'm the narrator.

Speaker 5 (26:48):
I'm saying that she was not impartial. Yeah she really did.
She really didn't take you down, bro?

Speaker 32 (26:54):
Can we agree you had it coming?

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Though?

Speaker 26 (26:56):
Eh?

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I was corrupted, okay, correct.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Things coming. I should be in jail. Forever. Yeah, no,
of course i'd I'm with one hundred percent agree with you.

Speaker 8 (27:07):
Ida.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
I had it coming.

Speaker 17 (27:23):
So here's what you need to know.

Speaker 13 (27:26):
Years nineteen thirty eight and San Antonio striking for our
right to get what we're old.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Strikes running long though, and the mood is low.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Just want to.

Speaker 13 (27:36):
Little mod but they still say no. Up to twenty
thousand strong numbers groll reason by the men they will
hit us that they may go.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
This ain't ever happened in the US.

Speaker 13 (27:47):
Big boat three months with thousand we've been off the
blown and we don't know how long that the throng
can go like a powder cake that's about to blown.

Speaker 7 (27:57):
But thank god we got a leader to control the flow.

Speaker 13 (28:00):
Management had us work in long even on the weekends.
Make you and only peanuts. Yet we Michelle and pe
can'st needed some hope. A young sister the beacon enter
Emma Tennor.

Speaker 17 (28:11):
You got here's what she speaking.

Speaker 33 (28:15):
Before.

Speaker 34 (28:15):
They treated how they do and it tote a simple
tune for roadness and you produce.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
For zukus dream.

Speaker 17 (28:31):
Big Halliday.

Speaker 34 (28:34):
Yours.

Speaker 13 (28:36):
Emma's parents were poor but practical, but in the buzzer
at night with her ramps she would listen to the radicals.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
She read words magical, picked.

Speaker 13 (28:45):
Up common sense from Thomas Paine and remarks she learned
of cap first joined.

Speaker 7 (28:50):
To strike at sixteen.

Speaker 11 (28:51):
She wasn't natural a.

Speaker 13 (28:53):
Resident at the protest, which made her fight more fanatical.
Her flight was rational, living under the fist of capitalists
with their backing all. She joined an org, found a
lack in the leadership, especially bat It reaching the Latina membership.
After high school, she led more and led more, read
more manifestos. No Emma scene as read the peak can't strike.

(29:15):
She runs it at twenty one, workers getting more conditions
and low fun. Emma's on the front lines. The crowd
is at a low hum. On the megaphone.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
She is shouting on the boor CoA were they treated how?

Speaker 17 (29:32):
And as simple? Tune for the word organess, and you reduce.

Speaker 35 (29:42):
Strong demazuras dreamding hall.

Speaker 17 (29:48):
Yours a Montenau.

Speaker 13 (29:50):
We used to get actions of factions, had enough, we
uper deals, but they still be passing up sick the bore,
oh honestly harassing up.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
We march in mass, but the breast here gassing us.
So now they're targeting our comrade.

Speaker 17 (30:06):
Emma speat just so powerful.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
They are like an antenna.

Speaker 13 (30:09):
Rawcasted wide from the press to the wrong manner.

Speaker 17 (30:13):
This creates in the movement a strong dilemma.

Speaker 13 (30:16):
There's a rift afraid the public would be nipped if
they knew the leader of the strike was cast.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
The communists just applied.

Speaker 13 (30:23):
To try to make the people stuff, but consequently Emma
lost her stuff. She stayed on unofficial to combat The
regime won the battle, but at a toll for Archie
secured and raised until the greedy came and stole our dream.

Speaker 11 (30:37):
A few months later, we're.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
Replaced with machines fucking coreer before they treated how they do.

Speaker 17 (30:46):
And at a simple tude.

Speaker 35 (30:49):
For organess and you produce for strogus dream.

Speaker 8 (30:59):
Big helen joy yours a montena k.

Speaker 17 (31:04):
I continue to organize.

Speaker 36 (31:08):
For a few moy years because of time.

Speaker 34 (31:13):
From the woods, I foks.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
I left, the party left, the triumphs left the tears.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Became a teacher and this is.

Speaker 17 (31:26):
What I taught.

Speaker 9 (31:30):
Bass looking courier bolly treated how they jr and Adonis
simple joy for roast or.

Speaker 35 (31:41):
Organizing, you producer or stronger than a zukkas dreaming.

Speaker 17 (31:48):
Halleuia yours a montenna Ku.

Speaker 9 (31:54):
Bass looking through poorly treated how they Jr.

Speaker 34 (32:00):
Hadnatota simple ga for no order, organizing.

Speaker 17 (32:07):
You produce.

Speaker 35 (32:09):
For stronger than massoucus dream big, halleuja yours than you come.

Speaker 26 (32:27):
I go by the name of Mary Golda Ross aka,
the first known Native American female aerospace engineer. I am
a mathematician, I am a Cherokee, and I am a
trail blazer.

Speaker 11 (32:44):
Here we go.

Speaker 26 (32:44):
I was born in Oklahoma nineteen o eight, a small
town called park Hillward. Life wasn't so great, but from
a very early age I showed a growth rate at
learning to compute the count and cold. Late I had
a mind for math, and I got mathea Mama before
native girls. You'll find it wasn't a good time. But
I'm a great grand child of a Cherokee te so

(33:06):
inside of me a healthless belief. Those around me, they
often agreed, spend my next few years with their help
in pursuit.

Speaker 11 (33:13):
Of my dreams.

Speaker 26 (33:15):
Knowledge. I sought it college with plots, math class, I
taught it masters.

Speaker 11 (33:20):
I got it.

Speaker 26 (33:20):
But after the next chapter of my biography, one in
which the prodigy in geometry wants to honestly do astronomy,
but misogyny in the field is the quantity of females
that's near zero. It's hard to see a past if
you can't see a hero. So we rode back to
a reservation. I worked in education. Maybe my dream was

(33:41):
dead and then instead for the next generation.

Speaker 7 (33:45):
I never know where my path please plat.

Speaker 20 (33:48):
I solved all my problems.

Speaker 26 (33:50):
I got math lets, married old. I plus remember me
check my legacy engineer and Cherokee.

Speaker 37 (33:57):
I did I.

Speaker 26 (33:58):
Advise the kids right? But I felt I never ever
really get that big light. But then Germany starts picking
a big fight and my world changes quick overnight. You
might not know, but in World War Two men were
overseas siegings, so the girls would do new jobs that
before would never hurlt towards you. A new world soars
through and unworld for you.

Speaker 11 (34:20):
So what staw the sign?

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Search for the.

Speaker 26 (34:22):
Sign and the coast sign. I headed for the coastline
to lock Heed on a course. I was charged and
if you didn't, and I was starting at the job
I always wanted doing aeronautics, making military place started silvery
and Rocky stilely had that money in my pockets on
a trade with Nope stopping within the war stopped and

(34:45):
then the men came home, So then I didn't know
if they let me stop that work any more. Once again,
every bosses.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
At a cross roads, at a lost or where to go?

Speaker 7 (34:56):
Oh no, I never know where up at?

Speaker 26 (35:00):
Please plut ouselve all my problems like at Matthews, Mary
Golden plus remember me check my legacy engineer and Cherokee.

Speaker 17 (35:18):
Sqeeze. Make him say, take.

Speaker 26 (35:21):
A girl multiplier with some passion and actions attract all distraction,
added a little traction and a fraction, a.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
Fashion and a glass ceiling. Would you get the answer?

Speaker 17 (35:32):
Risk, Mary Ross.

Speaker 26 (35:34):
And if they would have said you can't do Matthew anymore,
I'd be very cross. That would be a scary thought
because my mind absorbing all.

Speaker 7 (35:41):
These facts like the water, and my brain is made
of terry cloth.

Speaker 26 (35:44):
Yes, what I was so good that they kept me here,
pay for me to train again to be an engineer,
say for twenty plus years, earn my pension here, and
did even more things than I can mention here. Most
of it is classified, but suffice to say you got
Marry Russ the thing for your flight Today. Only woman
in the room where the fellas is with the melandine

(36:06):
helping their new tech development and writing manuals for the
Skunk Works, and after I retired, I'm inspiring the young squirts,
helping kids who look like me do what I did,
be a hero so they could dream big.

Speaker 17 (36:23):
Ju Jesus seeze make him say.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Jesu squeeze, Hello World.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
I'm Katie Carco.

Speaker 38 (37:02):
I helped develop the en vitro transcribe messenger RNA for
protein therapies, directly leading to the ninety nine percent effective
Pfizer BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. But in order to understand what
the heck I just said, let me break down some
science for you, Starting with how vaccines work. Think of
your body as a field full of sheep aka white

(37:24):
let cells so fresh and so clean, and think of
what disease like A wolf's so mean. The wolf wants
to eat all the sheep. Bet the scene he come
mon man in his sheep's clothes from.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
His head to wi.

Speaker 17 (37:35):
Soow's got a coat of protein.

Speaker 38 (37:37):
If the sheep get up, then they get deep ten
the vaccines like the first time the wolf gets seen
a little mini.

Speaker 32 (37:44):
Wolf who has been weak and give a hint of
the wolf.

Speaker 38 (37:47):
So the sheep gets this thing an alarm that can
bring if the wolf back again.

Speaker 7 (37:51):
So the sheep no, not to let the big wolf tend.

Speaker 32 (37:53):
So when the whole world endangled in.

Speaker 38 (37:55):
COVID nineteen, our self need vaccines, then they need them
with meat, but it takes many years just to test
send for theta and lets. A keen scientist has a
plant to succeed. That's me Katie Cobraco, a hero trying
to change the world.

Speaker 11 (38:09):
But she ain't got a ego.

Speaker 38 (38:10):
She feels her contributions are ultimately equal to many scientists
in her field.

Speaker 11 (38:15):
Your rego, my research.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
My neck wasn't mm renee.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
That's messenger rival nucleay has it?

Speaker 27 (38:42):
Okay.

Speaker 38 (38:43):
The easiest way you can think about that is as
a teen three D printer.

Speaker 32 (38:48):
The fact it's like matching.

Speaker 38 (38:49):
If it gets bet up protein, it will match it,
making replications at the drop of a hat and sending
them wherever they are needed in the body.

Speaker 32 (38:57):
Then the process gets repeated and repeated.

Speaker 38 (39:00):
My thought, the coverco moment of Eureka was when I
was in the lab with my burners and my beakers.
I thought, what if we take that printerer and we
tweak it, We teach it only to make the proteins
that we feed it.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Why then we could.

Speaker 38 (39:12):
Create growth ages of ensigns emptive bodies made at a
rate that was ten times faster than before.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I knew that this would.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Change it all. I tried to tell the world, but
nobody listen.

Speaker 11 (39:21):
To the call of me.

Speaker 38 (39:22):
Kay Icy recouping veto trying to say the courus, but
got slatted. Like Mesito, survived adumb with fucking perseverance by
the kilo, even in the years when she had zero.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
Wherever we go.

Speaker 38 (39:55):
Thirty years later, I had spent the intervening time trying
to get grants, get published, get some meat.

Speaker 17 (40:00):
We lined up with.

Speaker 38 (40:00):
Power players to make moneys and connections better. All I
got instead was the motions and rejection letters chadleis.

Speaker 32 (40:06):
They thought my research was too far away, but I stayed.

Speaker 38 (40:09):
The course continued downe with rn name ended up at
pen Meta Scientists, a nice man name of Drew Weissman.
We drew up a nice plan. Finally, through the work,
we paid dues and made moves. Had to break through
for you a tech but we stayed through Kate ruth slope,
but always new one day soon Team K Drew would
be ready to come and.

Speaker 11 (40:27):
Save you twenty twenty.

Speaker 38 (40:28):
Now the COVID whoops of the two scientists got the
three printers. Quo, that's is that scene in history made
dinners with my scientists. For years I had always been
business like me hey dca ricco who we oh my,
I'm too for.

Speaker 7 (40:42):
Sticking to her scientific credo.

Speaker 32 (40:44):
After this, we hope she'll be no longer in got crido.
Now she'll have a name that we know.

Speaker 16 (40:48):
So we go.

Speaker 37 (41:50):
F forty one, the Empire of the Sun, were just
riding on.

Speaker 39 (41:53):
The red lighting sing the pastor was run by the paddy.

Speaker 8 (41:57):
Outcome was that you.

Speaker 15 (41:58):
Was joying World War.

Speaker 37 (42:01):
The ride of the four and the theater war are
the subjects of Bendya Chung.

Speaker 11 (42:05):
But the song will explore, how are you as sure
something destarbly happened at home?

Speaker 37 (42:11):
At the time Japanese on the West end of America
had their loyalties question, Franklin Roosevelt did the worst with
his best fend and declared to Congress and the world
that if you deceid did from the land of the Yen,
you were now an alien.

Speaker 11 (42:23):
Doesn't matter citizen order for sir second gent with the
man you're.

Speaker 37 (42:27):
Subject to the acts of sedition laws with the terrible tradition.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
So the Usnate trips were on a mission to round.

Speaker 30 (42:34):
Up then say and he say in prisons against the
will and without any discernment.

Speaker 11 (42:38):
Thus began the policy that we not call internment, they
said the.

Speaker 36 (42:45):
Free. But then they roved humans their humanity. So I asked,
how can you lan a fight when you lost that wait?

Speaker 11 (43:02):
Internment condenses. The camps are intense. It's a test to
be ripped from your home.

Speaker 30 (43:07):
Gomard wire your fences and armguard defenses who shoot you
if you try to go.

Speaker 11 (43:12):
When pressure's oppressive, some books get inventive. They look for
that opposite force. No, they won't be pensive. They're on
the offensive. And they saw recourse in the courts.

Speaker 37 (43:22):
The Japanese American Citizens League, the American in their citizenry wanted.

Speaker 11 (43:27):
To challenge Roosevelt politically. And we're sitting that a jury
again judge will agree.

Speaker 37 (43:32):
So three men, Gordon Rabbay Yashi, Fred Korematz and Minova Yessubiu.

Speaker 11 (43:37):
Had a law degree. They thought possibly that they.

Speaker 37 (43:40):
Could stop this atrocity with honesty, but they got popped
in the job by hypocrisy lust.

Speaker 11 (43:45):
Their steam dropped to one, not for three, and it backed.

Speaker 30 (43:48):
Up where they didn't wanna be, in turn, in turn
interminably in.

Speaker 36 (43:58):
There are some their humanity.

Speaker 11 (44:04):
I ask, how can you fight when you're down?

Speaker 39 (44:09):
Even so World War two rages conflict of the ages.
The people, in turn still strive to bring from their
cages and start on you pages.

Speaker 11 (44:22):
But that dream is barely alive.

Speaker 37 (44:24):
For sell their esquires, getting real tired of looking for
our cases that can go until he's inspired by someone
who's fired and her name to an Endo Kendo Morning
Sacramento was employed by the State Board, but then wistftly
let go after the harbor aptexts, which director they cover
acts the.

Speaker 11 (44:42):
Spirit of the most US Manifesto.

Speaker 30 (44:44):
Theycase the court on a Habeus write, but the judge
in a thing that her case was legit, but the
US government knew something else about it, so they overmade
him just for only her, and she said no way.
More years locked in the fort, waiting until she reached
the Supreme Court debate.

Speaker 11 (45:00):
This is the price they make you pay for.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
Freedom makes a taste even swata when.

Speaker 11 (45:04):
You really be one blind day.

Speaker 6 (45:08):
Free.

Speaker 17 (45:10):
We will one day try to take.

Speaker 14 (45:13):
Our humanity.

Speaker 37 (45:15):
Remember this Humo Sto's fine for protecting all human night
is the only thing as well.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
She won.

Speaker 11 (45:35):
Me too.

Speaker 10 (45:40):
She made him.

Speaker 8 (45:46):
One blind day.

Speaker 6 (45:49):
Free.

Speaker 17 (45:51):
We will one day try.

Speaker 14 (45:53):
To take our humanity.

Speaker 17 (46:01):
You try to do all rights.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
The only thing was.

Speaker 33 (46:11):
Oo onych one one one one, each one, once, each one.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
This is the story of Samuel Rodney Brown.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
He was one of three black teachers able to teach
in nineteen thirty six after he broke the color barrier
for teaching.

Speaker 8 (46:35):
He grew up in south central California, so the piano
what seven years old.

Speaker 17 (46:41):
As he was growing up, jazz was up and coming.
He liked that along with classic gold.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
They try to tell him me good.

Speaker 8 (46:49):
And play the classics, cousin Jim Cole, But it's music.

Speaker 17 (46:54):
How can you segregate?

Speaker 8 (46:55):
He played it all undarnna genera shot each once, each one.
Get it in your head music not just from years
for you and you and them, because when each one,
each one, community is fat.

Speaker 17 (47:07):
That's a legacy. The samularly round as he conducted the orchestra,
you know. And he taught six classes a day, twelve
hour days. He two no breaks one day.

Speaker 8 (47:19):
The students will be better than Bay sidles and the
teacher's front yard had moved the piano to the front
of you had people would come out just to hear.

Speaker 17 (47:29):
Him play and anything that I can play from them.

Speaker 40 (47:33):
Each one's, each one get it in your head music,
not from years for you and you and them.

Speaker 17 (47:39):
Because when each one's, each one.

Speaker 40 (47:40):
