1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome to a very special edition of Black Market Reads, brought to you by the Givens Foundation for African American Literature, in proud partnership with the Minnesota Humanities Center. In 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson introduced Negro History Week to build a durable, year-round engagement with Black history and cultural memory. One hundred years later, we are honoring that exact vision by activating a public humanities initiative that proves Black history lives all year long, not just in February. This season, we are charting a unique course at the exact intersection where African American literature and the public humanities meet—exploring how our stories serve as an archive, evidence, and an active tool for social liberation. Today, to launch this centennial initiative, we are diving into the core of what the humanities mean for our collective future. To kick off this vital conversation, we're joined today by Kevin Lindsey, CEO of the Minnesota Humanities Center. &amp;nbsp; Givens Foundation | Black Market Reads http://givensbmr.libsyn.com/podcast <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41665605/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/41665605
