Episode 99 - Ernest Shaw

Published: Feb. 15, 2022, 10:29 a.m.

We've all met Ernest Shaw before. Multiple times in fact, the thing is a lot of people don't KNOW that they've met him. They've met him the way they've met Tom Miller, Megan Lewis, McKinley Wallace, and countless others in Baltimore City. You've walked, driven, and in other manners passed by murals that were painted by Ernest, murals that in my opinion immortalize his contributions to Charm City. Listen as we talk about the good and bad of 70s and 80s Baltimore, his encyclopedic knowledge of West African culture and its connections to Black American culture, and the importance of creativity as an image maker and an educator.
