What this episode covers

Just as cities were wrestling with America's history with slavery -- and the people and places tied to that past-- the legacy of Faneuil Hall came under scrutiny. Before slavery was abolished in Boston, slave auctions were held at Faneuil Hall. Artist Steve Locke proposed an installation to reckon with that. But after Boston’s NAACP chapter and others voiced their opposition to Locke’s proposal, he withdrew it and moved on, literally. Now he’s based in New York, but Boston just can’t quit him. He joins me to talk about his latest installation at MassArt and his upcoming appearance at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. From there co-host Callie Crossley talks to Sowmya Krishnamurthy about her new book, Fashion Killa, which connects how record labels, magazines, designers and models converged to make Hip-Hop a revolutionary force in fashion. Finally, it’s different keystrokes for different folks. The Boston Typewriter Orchestra is here to preview their upcoming concert.
