Strange Fruit #158: Happy Black History Month!: It's Black History Month, and we're kicking things off with a show about some of our favorite figures in black history - especially those in the LGBT community. Our guests this week are making space right here in Louisville for teaching and learning about Black History (among other things). Director Talesha Wilson and assistant director Tamika Dozier founded and operate a group called Diversity at the Table, that seeks to bridge the gap between formal, academic learning, and community knowledge. College classrooms provide a forum for young people to explore new and challenging ideas, and Wilson wanted to give that same experience to people who aren't pursuing a formal education. "Instead, you can learn through interactive activities," she explains. "So I started Diversity at the Table to have those conversations about intersectionality, gender, race, class, and sexuality... things that we go through on a regular basis." And she's seen the by Strange Fruit
