On the May 21 edition of The Wake Daily, Zora Cole highlights the Turning Tides art exhibit in Bethesda, explores Chicago’s DuSable Museum Juneteenth celebrations, and urges listeners to stream Critical Condition: Health in Black America. We celebrate Black student-athlete leadership in Houston and close with a look at Durham’s grassroots strategies to protect historic Black neighborhoods from gentrification.
Stay informed, stay empowered, and stay awake.
