This week we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday with conversations with two photographers involved in Dr. King’s historical presence and his legacy. Larry Redmond, a lawyer, photographer, writer, and father, photographs recent Chicago protests to create art collages sparking dialogue around oppressive institutions and civilians. His artwork is up in the Uri-Eichen Gallery as part of the For The People Artists Collective 2018 Exhibition: Do Not Resist? 100 Years of Chicago Police Violence. Karega Kofi Moyo, born in 1939, was a teacher on the West Side of Chicago during the Civil Rights Era. When Moyo heard of MLK’s assassination, he headed to the West Side to document the uprising. His new exhibit in Rootwork Gallery features a never-before-seen series of photographs showing the interaction between riot police and a young boy. This week, the Weekly Read also delivers a new Read honoring Dr. King’s legacy. To close out the show, South Side Weekly’s Bridget Newsham shares her reporting on the Englewood steering committee and Chicago Public School’s plans to build a new school in Englewood after first closing four. Recorded live from WHPK 88.5 FM - The Pride of the South Side with your hosts Sam Larsen, Olivia Obineme, and Andrew Koski.
