EPISODES
Dorothy McIntyre | Episode 201 Dorothy Mcintyre was a Minnesota pioneer for girls and women’s rights. Dorothy grew up active in sports and was a physical education teacher in the 1960s. She heard the call from girls who wanted to have the same sports opportunities the boys had. She and other women found ways to provide athletic experiences to girls and paved the way for Title IX, the law that ensures equal access to sports. Terry Nakanishi | Episode 202 Terry Nakanishi was a Japanese-American translator during WWII. When the U.S. entered the war, they needed to translate Japanese documents. Over 6,000 Japanese Americans trained at Minnesota’s Fort Snelling, including volunteer Terry Nakanishi, who was part of the only class of women. Terry was a courageous citizen and American hero who worked hard for the war effort while facing discrimination. AP Anderson | Episode 203 Ever wonder how they got the puff in puffed cereal? It was thanks to AP Anderson. Anderson grew up on a farm in Minnesota, and later studied agriculture and food science. During his studies, he discovered a way to “puff” cereals (or grains) by shooting it through a cannon, which puffed up the food industry and changed America’s breakfast forever! AP Anderson was a Minnesota scientist and breakfast champion.
