Black Culture's Blueprint on Chicago w/Arionne Nettles

Описание: To honor and celebrate Black History Month, I invited Chicago journalist and author Arionne Nettles to discuss her research and experience with Black Chicago’s long-lasting impact on Black culture through music, journalism, literature, politics, social justice, and so on. We talk about Chicago-based media magazine Jet’s impact on covering Emmett Till’s murder, which propelled the start of the Civil Rights Movement. From Buddy Guy to Gwendolyn Brooks, Kanye, to the Obamas, Arionne explains how Chicago has been the epicenter of creativity, innovation, and tenacity for Black creatives and leaders. We unabashedly talk about how Chicago is and will remain the best city in the world :-). Check out this episode!
