Historian Betsy Phillips joins Kelli and Sue to discuss her book 'Dynamite Nashville' and the unsolved bombings in Nashville during the Civil Rights era of the '50s and '60s. The conversation explores the Ku Klux Klan's violent response to desegregation, the FBI's controversial ties to Klan chapters, and key figures like J.B. Stoner, J. Alexander Looby, and J. Edgar Hoover.
Phillips describes her investigative work using FOIA requests, archival research, and interviews that helped prompt the reopening of cold cases and sheds light on how these events shaped Nashville and the broader Civil Rights era.
Kelli and Sue open with Neighborhood Notes (think Dolly Parton, New Orleans second line parades, and press-on nails ...) and close with an invitation to join them as they gather on their audio front porch, sip a drink, and try to solve all the problems of the world. Cheers, y'all!
