17:00 Catherine Burks-Brooks is iconic! Sadly, the news of her recent passing, was the first time I learned about her. I learned she was profoundly fearless from SUCH a young age in SUCH a dangerous time and place. She bookmarked taking final exams with organizing sit ins and helped keep the Freedom Rides going. She was delightfully petty to Bull Connors face, in his vehicle LOL. She was subsequently kicked out of school. Survived parchment prison and still dunked on folks in court (and bull Connor’s dumb racist ass) after release. I’m so happy I came across this interview with her. She’s even better than I imagined.

24:50 LETS TALK LOUD AND WAKE UP HIS WIFE because my momma told me to talk to the lady of the house if you need help.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH 💅 😅
