Скачать или смотреть Molly Brown: The Activist History Sank with the Titanic

Margaret “Molly” Brown is famously known as the “Unsinkable Molly Brown” for surviving the Titanic disaster. But that nickname has buried her true legacy: Brown was a pioneering activist for workers’ rights, women’s suffrage, education reform, and social justice. Born into poverty in Missouri, she leveraged her marriage into wealth to fund labor strikes, advocate for mine workers, run for office, and establish one of the first U.S. juvenile courts.

In this episode of The Unsung, we uncover how Brown used her Titanic fame as a megaphone for the marginalized—and how history minimized her to a caricature of Gilded Age extravagance.
