In honor of Memorial Day, the Bring It On! crew has prepared a special “best of” broadcast from our archives.

PART ONE
Originally aired on September 9, 2013, hosts Bev Smith and William Hosea speak with with longtime Bring It On! contributors Gladys DeVane and Liz Mitchell about indentured servitude and how three black women petitioned the Indiana Supreme court for release from their indentured servitude agreements. Their names were Mary Bateman Clark, Polly Strong and a woman only known as “Elizabeth”.

PART TWO
Originally aired on February 10, 2014, hosts Bev Smith and William Hosea speak with Dr. John McCluskey, professor emeritus of Indiana University. Dr. McCluskey recaps a talk-back he led for the audience and cast members of the theatrical presentation of Matthew Lopez’s 2010 play The Whipping Man, set in the Civil War’s immediate aftermath.
