EP206: A Woman's Self-Made Journey from Motown to Small Town and Stalin’s Daughter: American Citizen, Wisconsin Cheesehead?!

On this episode of Our American Stories, Fawn Weaver grew up the daughter of Motown Record royalty, Frank Wilson, but her parentage is only the beginning. From growing up, moving out young, and starting several business, she's learned lessons about equality, fitting in, fear, and much more. The History Guy recalls when 85-year-old Lana Peters passed away in 2011 from complications due to colon cancer while the nation seemed to have forgotten the woman who had become a sensation during the Cold War.Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)Time Codes:00:00 - A Woman's Self-Made Journey from Motown to Small Town35:00 - Stalin’s Daughter: American Citizen, Wisconsin Cheesehead?!
