Episode description
Phillips County, Arkansas, is home to one of the deadliest racial conflicts in U.S. history - the Elaine Massacre of 1919. Today, it still grapples with the lasting effects of systemic inequality, poverty, and ever present environmental issues - particularly the fight for clean water. How can art play a role in healing these historic divides?
In our very first episode, narrator Marc Bamuthi Joseph dives into Arts For EveryBody – Phillips County, focusing in particular on the inspiring work of the Living Waters Gospel Choir.
