I was afraid to listen to it because I struggle with subjects of racial inequality and abuse and murder of black people. It just makes me incredibly mad and sad, but I know how important it is to keep telling these stories, especially in our current climate. This podcast was brilliantly done with the story being told with grace. I would love to know more about Miss Pat and her life.
