Episode 11: Evelyn Yoshimura and Jen and Sarah Hart

Lynn tells us about Evelyn Yoshimura. Evelyn Yoshimura is a Japanese American civil rights activist. Inspired by the African American civil rights movement, Yoshimura worked to enact change for the Asian American community.

Then, Rose breaks the rules and tells us about TWO batshit crazy women, Jen and Sarah Hart. Two horrible women who adopted six children and horribly abused them until they decided to murder the entire family by driving off a cliff.

Thank you to our sources!
