Tony Carr THURSDAY at 2:45 Tony Carr began collecting black memorabilia about twenty years ago. Most of the 500+ pieces he has amassed are so vile you may want to turn away. But Tony prefers you to take a good, hard look.
Most of the items he's acquired are degrading, offensive and distasteful. But Tony says they're a reminder of what others had to endure to clear the path he now travels. Tony wants to share these dehumanizing images in an effort to teach others about the struggles his parents and grandparents and many other African-Americans had to endure.
Wing Young Huie Thursday 10:15 An award-winning photographer who has received international attention for his many projects that document the changing cultural landscape of his home state Minnesota . His best-known work is Lake Street USA, which in the summer and fall of 2000 transformed six miles of a well-known Minneapolis thoroughfare into one of the most remarkable public art projects in recent memory. Whether in epic public installations or major museum exhibitions, Wing creates up-to-the-minute societal mirrors of who we are, seeking to reveal not only what is hidden, but also what is plainly visible and seldom noticed. Eric J. Jolly, Ph.D. Friday 9:30 Dr. Eric J. Jolly is the president of the Science Museum of Minnesota, He leads a museum that develops and presents educational programs, films and exhibits to 1.3 million people in the upper Midwest and to millions more around the world through its traveling program. |
