"Goodnight Irene"
a podcast produced by Anne Checler

"Goodnight Irene" is the first episode of THE STAND, a collection of audio stories about ordinary people who throughout history, took risks to fight against social injustice in America. In this short audio documentary, my mother, Irene Checler, recounts her unusual upbringing during the McCarthy era as the daughter of Communist Party members and fervent civil rights activists and how it led her to take stand of her own at her high school graduation in 1958.
