This clip is from a guest episode with @historyforthereckoning about Mitsuye Endo—a 22-year-old who helped bring an end to U.S. concentration camps during WWII.
Mitsuye’s case forced the government to admit what they already knew—that this was unconstitutional the whole time.

On this day in history, April 2 1870, Victoria Woodhull announced her bid for presidency. The catch? Women did not have the right to vote, so really couldn`t be running for president yet.
🇺🇸But when has women not being allowed the right to do something ever stopped Vicky before?
🇺🇸 We don`t LOVE that she named Frederick Douglass as her running mate without asking him, but that`s what she did! And began to campaign for the 1872 election.
🇺🇸 Y`all when we say Victoria was demonized for her desire to get into politics- we mean literally. She was called Mrs Satan. 👿 Which honestly, is pretty punk rock
🇺🇸 However, Ulysses S. Grant won this one (wooo.... another white man) (I actually don`t know anything about Ulysses S. Grant so, if he was cool I apologize.)
We have a three part series on Victoria Woodhull and her run for presidency doesn`t even come until the end of the second episode. Her life is so freaking cool. If you wanna learn more, the link is in the bio!
It`s meme-o`clock bitches! just some stuff we saw this week that made us giggle and hopefully will make you giggle too.

New Episode Alert! Have you ever heard of Queen Nzinga of Ndongo? What a force to be reckoned with.
My favorite story is that when she went to make a peace treaty with the Portuguese (who were trying to take her lands), as a sign of disrespect, they did not offer her a chair to sit in. Instead of accepting the shade and sitting on the floor, Nzinga called over one of her attendants and sat on his back instead.
She sat eye level with the Portuguese AND got the peace treaty. 🫳🎤
