    Episode 288 - Black History Month - Black Wall Street and the Tulsa Race Massacre with Carmita from Missing in the PNW
    Feb 19 2026
    TW - This episode we drop a few 'f' bombs, and a few other words we would not normally use. But we are dealing with an act of domestic terrorism that has been concealed by polite history. We discuss the rRise of Black Wall Street in the Greenwood District of Oklahoma. How discovering oil in the early twenties brought people of all colors to to the young state of Oklahoma unintentionally creating a community of Black entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and other professionals,,This created a segregation and suspicion drove them into the community of Greenwood where they built black schools, black theaters, black hotels and black shops. Their community was so good and prosperous that even whites would shop there when they could get a product better or cheaper. However, one night, a young man named Dick Rowland who worked in Tulsa had to use the restroom. Being black, he couldn't go to the bathroom where he worked he had to go to one of the 'Black Only' bathrooms and the closest one was on the top floor of the nearby Drexler Building. The elevator was operated by one Sarah Page and as Dick rode the elevator, it shook briefly, causing Dick to wobble, he grabbed Sarah's arm to right himself, and Sarah, not expecting the contact, yelled as she was very startled. That's it...well Dick left the elebator a clerk saaw him and reported the incident to the police. Police arrested Roland and Black World War I veterans showed up armed, to prevent the vigilante lynch mob from attacking the jail and lynching Dick. It was this event that set off the Tulsa Race Massacre...an overnight series of assaults, unreasonable arrests, theft, arson and murder that devastated the district of Greenwood. And we, along with Carmita from Missing in the PNW and Murder in the PNW, tell this true story from the dark history of America and Oklahoma in this 0h-yeah-this-happened, domestic terror and if-this-doesn't-make-your-blood-boil-nothing-will episode of the Family Plot Podcast

  • Episode 287 - The Valentine Phantom of Montpelier, Vermont - Happy Valentines Day

    Episode 287 - The Valentine Phantom of Montpelier, Vermont - Happy Valentines Day
    Feb 12 2026
    This week, we step away from doom, gloom and reminders of the fact that we are currently under an authoritarian administration thaat does not value human life and only serves to protect the billionaire class to talk about a magical event that happens every February in the tiny city of Montpelier, Vermont. It seems that, since 2002 when people in Montpelier on Valentine's day morning, they find their town covered in hearts, celebrating love, community and kindness. More than one person has served the role of the Phantom, like the Dread Pirate Roberts, it's a title that gets passed on from time to time. We cover the history of the tiny capital of Montpelier, the history of the Valentine Phantom and how even during a blizzard and the height of the pandemic, the Montpelier Valentine Phantom (or Bandit) was able to cover the town in hearts. So join us for this feel good episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

    (PS - The 'Secret Santa' from Independence Missouri was Larry Stewart, a Lees Summit Businessman who passed away in 2007)

  • Episode 286 - The Life of Frederick Douglass - Black History Month

    Episode 286 - The Life of Frederick Douglass - Black History Month
    Feb 5 2026
    Such an episode. One of three episodes for Black History Month this Month, we cover the amazing life of Frederick Douglass, born a slave, he managed to sneak an education which propelled him to Freedom and so much more. He learned letters and managed to improve his education by challenging white school children and allowing them to correct him, watching men in lumberyards and shipyards mark words on boxes and objects until he could copy their strokes perfectly. We discuss hiss first attempt to escape which got him arrested and his second which earned him Freedom. We discuss his life as a writer, an abolitionist, a public speaker and as a consciense for the country following the Civil War (which was a war about slavery not state's rights...don't be fooled by a racist narrative). We mention how he had the best hair of that era and his lifelong career as a speaker and statesman even touching on earlier mentions on our podcast (episode 232 and 242) and so much more in this, our first Black History Month epiosde of 2026 on the Family Plot Podcast. Also, this week's sponsor quote is a quote from Douglass' 'Fourth of July to a Former Slave' as read by the inimitible James Earl Jones. Credit where credit is due.
