5) It Happens Here: The Roots of Racial Inequity on the north Shore and 5.5) Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak
5) It Happens Here: The Roots of Racial Inequity on the north Shore. This is an ongoing series created by WTIP, in partnership with independent producer and host Leah Lemm. The goal of the series is to root listeners in the history of racist treatment of Black, Indigenous and people of color in Cook . We'll explore how that's manifested over the years - from the arrival of the first White settlers to present day. The project will incorporate local research on topics related to racism and racial injustice as well as current voices and perspectives on the many aspects of racism in our community.
5.5) Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak is a radio partnership between the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe and WTIP Community Radio.
