This podcast should be built into school curricula all over the country. The reporters and editors did a fabulous job leveraging beautiful and sometimes heart-breaking personal stories to illustrate systemic injustices on so many levels. It could have been overwhelming, but amidst the serious information and infuriating revelations, the team managed to maintain a core of hope and a powerful call to action. Kudos to all involved.
This show is incredibly well done telling stories of land in America through a lens of equity and inclusion as well as segregation, colonialism and environmental injustice.
Monument Lab, more like monument rad! But seriously, I miss this kind of talk. Much needed for my daily commute. Makes me have a new understanding of the invisible fabric that shapes our worlds.
Very interesting and inspiring talks. Lots of topics covered, would recommend!
An inspiring look at projects around the nation seeking to shift how we think about representation, public art, electoral politics, activism and more.
