This week the Herstorians are talking Prison Breaks, and no, not the show with the hottie boom body. BUT, there was a cutie involved. Tune in to hear the twisting tale of how Frank Morris and brothers, John and Clarence Anglin, "escaped" from Alcatraz, the inescapable prison! (Cutie gets an honorable mention, he really did try his best!) We've always heard the saying that if you want something bad enough, you'll do anything to get it, and MAN did these guys really want freedom. Frank is basically a genius and masterminded the plan, but it wouldn't have "worked" without John and Clarence. (I know, what's with the quotation marks? ... you'll see.) 

Your Herstorians, April and Madison, also wanted to bring attention to a tragic crime against the city of Nanking that happened during WWII. Every survivor deserves respect and validation, and we hope we provided that. If you are up to it, please seek out information about it yourself. Be warned, the images online are very graphic, and quite honestly, horrifying. The only way to prevent that overt brutality from happening again is to acknowledge that it happened, educate ourselves, and do better. 

Join us next week for tales of the Bermuda Triangle!
