Manage episode 333582828 series 3368695
Welcome to season 2!
In episode 17, I speak to Tia Folgheraiter a student at Dartmouth. She speaks about the racist mural at the university and the effect it had on the college community, both native and non-native. She briefly goes over the organizing that occurred to get it removed.
As a coincidence, we were near University of North Carolina where space is being contested by white supremacists and anti-racist community members. During our visit we had an encounter the demonstrated the continued struggle for space and symbolism. Dr. Andrew Curley, a previous visitor, provides a brief overview of it.
Tia talks about her school and what she hopes to occur with the removal of the mural. We go into a discussion about visual sovereignty.
