The Focus LBK Show S2E94: Mr. Brady Baldwin Day is Monday July 14th - Celebration at Mae Simmons

Mr. Brady Baldwin is a quiet hero here in LBK. A longtime resident of the Dunbar neighborhood, he served as a Deacon at Lyons’ Chapel, and worked at many different professions during his long, well-lived life. In fact, he is one of the men who helped build many parts of the city, including Lyons' Chapel itself. Mr. Baldwin’s 102nd Birthday celebration will be held at Mae Simmons Community Center on Monday July 14th at 5pm. We plan to document the event and would encourage you to try to make it out.We interviewed Mr. Baldwin at his home in 2023, and since his birthday is around the corner, we decided to publish this oral history interview again, to allow those who don’t know Mr. Baldwin to hear his story.Mr. Baldwin is a sharp and solid link to the past, and we are blessed to have Elders like him still with us. Their memories and stories provide important context for our lives and struggles today. Their accomplishments and examples also keep us grounded and provide a deep well of strength and wisdom that we can call on when needed.Focus LBK is a reader-supported publication.
