The Rachel Hollis Podcast - Podcast tekijän mukaan Three Percent Chance

This Episode Originally Aired - August 25, 2020 Today's throwback episode Rachel hosts Professor Martha S Jones, author and researcher at Johns Hopkins, to talk about the history of the 19th Amendment, and how the stories we tell ourselves about our families and our histories shape the way we move through the world. It's an important conversation to have - especially in this moment when we're remembering the 104th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution. We hope you'll join Professor Jones and Rach as they dive into the legacy of Black suffragettes and the power each of us wield as guardians of our own stories.
