2.09 The Camel

Published: April 6, 2017, 11:44 a.m.

Emma and Kathryn discuss season 2, episode 9 “The Camel” and declare it the Pawnee Parks and Recreation department origin story. We talk about taking a stance in politics, O.J. Simpson’s “two legacies”, why it’s not enough to slap a new name on offensive history, and how Leslie’s love for her teammates conflicts with her desire to win. We also add Suzan Shown Harjo, longtime advocate for American Indian rights and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to our Wall of Inspirational Women.
