Welcome to Government That Doesn't Suck.

I'm your professor, Greg Jackson.

And today is episode one of our new podcast.

Before we go any further, maybe we should actually explain who we are to new listeners.

I'm Greg Jackson.

I am best known as the creator, head writer, and host of the podcast History That Doesn't Suck.

I am the author of Been There, Done That, How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome.

And I'm Greg Jackson.

And I also teach at Utah Valley University, where I'm the America 250 professor in the Center for Constitutional Studies.

So I am a complete nerd.

I think that's pretty much what I just said.

Yeah, yeah, we're, uh, we're nerds.

It's February 11th, 1972.

We're in Elkins, West Virginia, where college student Ella Mae Thompson is waiting for her ride.

Outside, the thermometer is hovering around freezing and a few inches of snow still cover the ground.

In other words, it's a pretty typical winter's day around this mountainous part of the country.

But hey, it's Friday and the start of the weekend, and for Ella, this particular day promises to be anything but typical.

The freshman is on her way to the county courthouse.

No, she's not in trouble.
