Ep 63: In 1944 Abbeville Alabama, a young African American woman was abducted and assaulted by 7 white men on her way home from church. During a time when the world was against her, the woman bravely fought for her justice; and ultimately, it was this woman’s courage that would help spark a mass-movement for racial justice.
