Dani is accused of covering attractive slayers, and she does it again this week. She covers wife, stay at home mother, Sunday school teacher, and slayer Brenda Andrew. Brenda seemed like she led the perfect suburban life until her husband was murdered, and she became a suspect. She didn’t exactly look innocent when she fled the country with her lover. Tune in to find out how this one ends. In honor of Black History Month, Carly covers the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 and survivor Olivia Hooker. She educates all of us about Tulsa's Greenwood district, which at that time was the wealthiest black community in the US. Unfortunately that all changed when white mobs attacked the black residents of Greenwood during one of the worst incidences of racial violence in American History. 6-year-old, Olivia Hooker, was woken on May 31, 1921 by white men breaking into her home with torches. By morning Greenwood was destroyed. Listen in to learn more.
