Mary Ellen Pleasant, a Friend of John Brown
Mary Ellen Pleasant was a lot of things, but a weak woman wasn't one. Mary Ellen came from the humblest of beginnings in the South during the time of slavery and through ingenuity and hustle, became not only one of the wealthiest women California had ever known, but more importantly the "Mother of civil rights in California".
San Francisco's Preparedness Day Bombing
San Francisco was victim to it's own act of terror back in 1916 right on Market Street. Before the US got involved in World War 1, there was a big movement - a preparedness movement to get the US ready to go engage in combat. Not everyone liked this...and so a plot of direct action unfolded resulting in multiple convictions, acquittals, and a lot of other drama. We're coming out swinging in Season 3 so buckle in and let's get going.
