In this compelling episode, host Dr. Katie Crawford Lackey sits down with Sharon McMahon, "America's Government Teacher" and New York Times bestselling author of "The Small and the Mighty," to explore the remarkable stories of overlooked women who shaped American democracy. From Rebecca Brown Mitchell, who helped secure women's suffrage in Idaho decades before the 19th Amendment, to fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin, whose courageous stand against bus segregation helped pave the way for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, McMahon brings to light the extraordinary contributions of ordinary Americans who changed history. The conversation delves into how these "small and mighty" individuals' persistent efforts for liberty and justice continue to impact our nation today, reminding us that everyone has the power to make meaningful change. Through these inspiring stories, McMahon and Crawford Lackey demonstrate how progress is born of struggle and why every person's contribution to democracy matters, even when the results aren't immediately visible.
