Listen "Robert Smalls and Daniel Inouye"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we will hear about one of the most inspiring and daring escapes in history. The story of Robert Smalls is one that should have been made into a movie long ago. The man stole a Confederate gunboat and sailed it, full of runaway slaves, to freedom. He would later become one of the first African Americans to serve in Congress.
In our True Heroes segment, I will introduce you to Daniel Inouye. His service in World War II was absolutely one of the most heroic and awe-inspiring you will ever hear about. Severely wounded, he helped his company take a key hilltop, paving the way for the Allied sweep though Italy as we pushed the Germans back towards their homeland.
