Watching these just makes me wish all my history teachers in school were drunks

[kaylakilgore]

I learned more about Black History here than I ever did through high school 😂🥲

Claudette Colvin & Gwendolyn Sanders. Two true American heroes. I am over 50 years old and watching this show and just learning about these two. Why is this skipped over in our history classes?

Could you imagine JFK or any president on camera saying " I love drinking, why dont I do this more often"?

1:39"So, wait, what?" ..Oh, I was just saying, like-" SO, the NAACP is flooded with letters."...😂 off to a great start! Asking someone to repeat themselves only to cut them off immediately- SO FUNNY!😂

Claudette Covan: before Rosa Parks. Sux that Rosa didn’t say anything and gave Claudette credit. Children protests were so brave 1963. Civil rights act and I have a dream. Little Rock 9-These are great stories!

i love amber ruffin and knew she was involved with this show but didn't know the show was so touching or that she was featured. i'm happy to find this one in particular primarily because i want to sit on bus with claudette and her friends while amber narrates.

It just sounded oh so exact and articulate in my immediate state of mind 🤣

[duckjab]

derek waters really was living the life when this was on the air.
I would’ve done anything to have hosted this lol.

Many people don’t know this story of Claudette Colin This is real HISTORY not “his story.”

[ProfVRandall]

I understood that they didn't use Claudette Colin as the face o the Boycott because she was pregnant.

[TreeBug]

Thank you Rosa Parks for sacrificing yourself and your time Your courage will never be forgotten rest in peace my dear🕊

[joellestewart]
