Who was L.A Attorney George Shibley? | Farrah Berrou
Farrah Berrou explores the life of George Shibley, a left-wing lawyer who represented the Chicano defendants in the 1942 "Sleepy Lagoon" California case (later the basis for the film Zoot Suit). Farrah tells us about the cultural significance of Zoot Suits, about defense attorney George Shibley, and how the trial unfolded. We discover LA during the 40s, the different tensions that existed at the time, and George Shibley's lost legacy.
