Show by WBEZ Chicago
Local artist Dorothy Burge stitches together the history of Black people who fought against slavery, fought on the battlefield, then fought segregation at home to ask what changes when we understand Black veteran histories as part of a broader struggle for freedom, rather than through a solely nationalist lens. In the Loop talks with the artist. GUEST: Dorothy Burge, artist, Freedom Fighters exhibit, Cultural CenterFor a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
