194. Egg Nog Riot and Torches of Freedom

Hayley teaches us about something that West Point's command historian Sherman Fleek said "Hardly anyone knows about it. If pooled among 4,400 cadets, 3,000 federal employees, 1,500 military staff and faculty, I doubt 30 people will know a thing about it.” Kat follows it up by teaching about how suffragettes were conned by the cigarette industry. Still got a thirst for knowledge and parasaocial camaraderie? You’re in luck!
