Remember when that famous person said the thing that the other famous person put on a coffee mug? \u201cThe only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history?\u201d Well it\u2019s true. And if you want another reminder, listen to Beth and Kelly this week as the Strange Country cohosts tell you about the time when Chinese women were wrongfully taken off the streets under The Page Act of 1875, the very first official legislation allowing some guy in charge to unkindly remove people from the country. This story is getting old but we keep it fresh. Thanks for listening. It is an act of love.
