This is the first episode of a full series on Orval Faubus, the 36th governor of Arkansas. Orval's legacy rightfully focuses on his staunch segregationist policies, but if you look at his story, you can clearly see how American politics has always and will always be the same. This episode focuses more on Orval's father Sam, a prominent member of the Socialist Party in the Ozarks, and the history of Socialism in the Ozarks before its decline following World War I. We also learn about other family members, including a country singing brother named Doyle, and learn about Orval's childhood and some of his pre-political career adult years.
