Rodney Freeman - Segregated Libraries - Evening WURDs 7.23.26

from WURD Radio · host WURD Radio

Rodney Freeman is the Executive Producer of "Are You a Librarian? The Untold Story of Black Librarians", and the designer of “Voices of Colored Libraries: An Interactive Journey through History”. As America marks its 250th anniversary, the country is keeping some historic stories on official record—and some are quietly being removed. Book bans, the rollback of DEI programs, and the disappearance of Black history from classrooms and libraries are not abstractions. They are happening right now, to the very kind of libraries this project seeks to save. He joined Dr. Peterson to discuss an interactive map showcasing the little-known Civil Rights histories of formerly segregated libraries across the South.
