Destination Freedom Black Radio Days

As a companion podcast to Destination Freedom Black Radio Days comes The Eclectic. Aisha Ahmad-Post is the Executive Director of the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Denver. Previously, she was the inaugural Director of the Ent Center for the Arts at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, and Producer of Public Programs for The New York Public Library.

We asked Harold Field to join The Eclectic to speak about the Tulsa Race Riot and Black Wall Street. For years Harold has led conversations on Race with the Tuesday Race Group. He works for reparations for former enslaved Africans, and he advises on DEI issues for organizations. His list of involvement in the Colorado community and national community is far too long to list.

Next on The Eclectic from Destination Freedom Black Radio Days is the Honorable Judge Gary Jackson. We discuss his 50-year legal career and as he describes it, being the only Black person in the room.

Next on The Eclectic from Destination Freedom Black Radio Days is Idris Goodwin, a playwright, director, break beat poet and educator. He is the Director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College and a 2021 United States Artist Fellow.
