Episode 60: We Got Receipts

Tina and Hillary cover former Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus and former Marshall, Arkansas Sheriff Lang Holland.

Tina’s Story
Civil Rights Activist Leon Jordan was elected to the Missouri House in 1964 and became one of the most powerful black politicians in Kansas City. But in the early morning hours of July 15th, 1970 Jordan’s life ended tragically leaving behind a decades long mystery and incredible legacy.

Hillary’s Story
Though Lang Holland didn’t serve as Marshall Sheriff for too long, he did manage to raise concerns for his pushback against state mandates. But, it was his engagement on the notorious Parler app that garnered attention from state officials.
