Description

On this week's show I'm joined by presenter Aaron Roach-Bridgeman as we discuss the sad story of Captain Scott and his diary (1912); Winston Churchill's daring escape during the Boer War (1899) and the sad case of the fallout when the New Orleans School Board attempted to allow black and white children to learn together in 1960.
