GOTUS 103: Crandall v Jackson

Andrew Jackson is one of our most recognizable, significant, and despicable Presidents. His awful legacy fulfills much of ours as a nation. Our goal today is to break down his impact and to break his chokehold on our identity. Contemporary to his reign of destruction, Prudence Crandall taught this country how to grow. Her story is shorter than Jackson's, but she was helping us move forward while folks like Jackson held us back.

GOTUS 102: Parsons v Coolidge

What do you remember about the 1920s? To me, it stands out as a better decade than most of its neighbors. But the greatest fighters will never be content. Lucy Parsons was fighting for all of us, whether all of us were ready for her or not.

GOTUS 101: Olmsted v Pierce

Did you know Franklin Pierce was once the President Of The United States? There's plenty of good reasons to forget him, though he helped contribute to the widening divide of the mid-19th century US. But one of his contemporaries was busy building the country up in multiple ways - and you are almost certainly familiar with his work firsthand! Today, we're discussing how Frederick Law Olmsted is far cooler than Franklin Pierce (which is not a very high bar, but Olmsted was very cool).
