We all think we know the story of Rosa Parks. She was an old, tired woman who got on a bus in segregated Montgomery, Alabama. When the white bus driver asked her to give up her seat to a white passenger, Rosa refused. She was tired! Her feet hurt! For refusing to move, Rosa Parks was arrested. Then, oopsies, she became a civil rights icon! \u2026 well, that\u2019s not quite how it went down. Rosa Parks wasn\u2019t that old. Her feet didn\u2019t hurt. When she refused to give up her seat, she knew exactly what she was doing. She\u2019d been a take-no-shit activist her entire life.\xa0\n
\n\nThen Brandi tells us about a serial killer. When Alice Williams showed up at 86-year-old Norma Davis\u2019 house and shouted her name, Norma didn\u2019t respond. Alice became concerned. So she cautiously made her way through Norma\u2019s home. That\u2019s how Alice discovered that Norma had been brutally murdered. A knife stuck out of Norma\u2019s neck. Another stuck out of her chest. About a week later, another woman in Norma\u2019s gated community was murdered.\xa0\n
\n\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.\n
