Black History Month has its roots in a weeklong celebration announced by Carter G. Woodson, a prominent Black historian. And he made that very announcement in a YMCA in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood.
Reset learns the history of the Woodson and talks with a group that preserves the Bronzeville building that houses this legacy.
GUESTS: Lionel Kimble, board member, Association for the Study of African American Life and History, and associate professor of history and Africana studies at Chicago State University
Oji Eggleston, executive director of the Renaissance Collaborative
