HHHR #5 -- 1) Washington & Jefferson: The Pope's Birthday Surprise -- 2) Lena's Book Club Ladies And The Bats -- 3) NFL Protest: Black & White Evils Aren't Always Blacks & Whites

Part 1 of Episode 5 discusses an important fact: George Washington's and Thomas Jefferson's birthdays changed between the day they were born and the day they died. The birthdays we remember weren't the birthdays their mothers remember. Why is that? The change in the date of their birth reaches back into history, and has something to do with Julius Caesar and with...the Pope!
In Part 2, we meet the ladies in Lena's book club: June, Evelyn, Lavinia, Mary Christine, and Gladys. We'll find out what book they're reading this month, and observe Gladys' simple show of humility. We'll also hear about Gladys' (kinda, sorta) unwelcome visitors.
Part 3 addresses the inferences about American slavery made by Colin Kaepernick in his July 4 tweet, and note the fact that while the slavery may be a black and white evil, this history of slavery is much more than a Blacks and Whites issue.
