22. A Pleasant Badass & A Top Hat-Wearing Icon
Description
It's your favorite historical shitshow of a podcast with hosts Caitlin Corsetti and Carmen Harbour!
It's a long pandemic, y'all. When will we be back again? Who knows! This week, Caitlin shares the tale of Mary Ellen Pleasant, a badass black woman, entrepreneur, and abolitionist known as the "Harriet Tubman of California." And Carmen tells us all about the iconic Gladys Bentley, aka Barbara "Bobbie" Minton, an openly gay blues singer and entertainer during the Harlem Renaissance who basically invented wearing top-hats and tuxedos.
