Back to the main story of Orval Faubus, this week focuses primarily on his first term as governor, which is more politically progressive than not. We meet the White Citizens Council, a racist political group that ultimately influences Orval into the segregationist camp, and, as usual, talk lot about rural Arkansas high schools.…

This week, we take a brief detour from Orval Faubus to discuss Commonwealth College, a short-lived leftist radical labor college in the rural Arkansas Ouachitas. I know the timing of this release is odd, in the middle of a series, but it makes sense! Orval Faubus is an alumni of sorts, after all

In the second episode about the life and times of Orval Faubus, we learn about his short-lived attendance at Commonwealth College, a left-wing work college in the rural Arkansas Ouachitas, followed by his experiences in Europe during World War Two.

This is the first episode of a full series on Orval Faubus, the 36th governor of Arkansas.

This episode focuses more on Orval's father Sam, a prominent member of th…
