Manage episode 436481388 series 2642812
Come to our first ever live show! In Boston, on Friday, September 13th. Tickets are available now!
It's August 27th. This day (technically the 28th) in 1957, Senator Strom Thurmond embarks on what would be the longest filibuster in Senate history, arguing against civil rights legislation that would expand the vote for Black americans.
Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss why Thurmond decided to take his stand, how he filled the 24 hours and 18 minutes of talking, and answer the all-important question of how he went to the bathroom.
