Part 2 of the conversation of Carrie Chapman Catt

Catt was born on January 9, 1859, in Ripon, Wisconsin, the second of three children of Lucius and Maria (Clinton) Lane. In 1866, at the close of the Civil War, the family moved to a farm near Charles City, Iowa.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Karen Kedrowski, the director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, to discuss Catt's life and her significant contributions to the women's movement.

The Sioux City Ghosts were an all-black fast-pitch softball team in Sioux City, Iowa. Their exceptional skills and unique style of playing created a legacy that very few can match. It all started in 1925 as a boy’s club. After class, they would gather near the former Hopkins school along West 7th and Panoah Street in Sioux City.

Jim Tillman, Sioux City native and resident, has been studying the Ghosts story for a while and was able to share the story on his first EVER podcast appearance.
