As a nod to this year’s Black History Month theme of “Black Women in American History and Culture,” in this episode of the Barber Shop Show, we’re discussing the life and legacy of civil rights pioneer and hometown heroine Ida B Wells.
We’re joined by:
-Christopher Manning, Assoc. Prof of History at Loyola
-Michelle Duster, Ida B. Wells descendent and biographer
-Richard Hunt, legendary large-form abstract sculptor and designer of a monument commemorating Ida B Wells
