WABE Arts: Broken Promises and Reconstruction

A new permanent exhibition at Atlanta’s National Center for Civil and Human Rights revisits Reconstruction, one of the most misunderstood eras in American history. WABE Arts & Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott speaks with Chief Programs Officer Kama Pierce about Broken Promises, an exhibition that traces post–Civil War progress, backlash, and the journalists and artists who documented it in real time. From Ida B. Wells to contemporary artist Lonnie Holley, the exhibition asks how history is remembered and what it means to promote human rights and challenge injustice today. 🎧See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
