From before Jim Crow America to modern mass incarceration, Black Americans have stood tall and marched against a world’s efforts to keep them still. This month WHYY is featuring stories about incredible Black activists and artists who refused to stay silent, like NAACP president Walter White, jazz musician Hazel Scott and more. Don’t miss out on the new docuseries from henrylouisgates and take a leap into Philadelphian history with WHYY’s special on the extraordinary Uptown Theater.
