March 22, 2022 – Story of the Gyspy Coeds and the Silver Streak is featured in PBS Documentary “Route 66 Women: The Untold Story Of The Mother Road”

A recently completed documentary, “Route 66 Women: The Untold Story Of The Mother Road” is becoming available on PBS. We began working with the group that ultimately created this documentary in 2017, attending “Women of The Mother Road” events in St. Louis and Springfield Missouri with the Silver Streak in tow. Now, 5 years later the 3 episode documentary has been completed and has been picked up by several PBS stations this month, which is of course Women’s History Month. The story of the Gypsy Coeds and the Silver Streak is part of episode one. It’s neat to be a part of this larger project. PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) distributes programming to approximately 350 locally controlled and operated public television stations across the country, so not all stations have picked it up yet. Please call your local station and ask if it is currently part of their programming and if not, ask them to pick it up from APT (American Public Television) syndication.
