“What We Owe,” our two-part podcast created by Columbia College Chicago students Bri Ramiriz and Adiam Woldu and funded by a grant from the Council of Independent Colleges’ Humanities Research for the Public Good. This podcast is drawn from oral history interviews in the Chicago Anti-Apartheid Movement archival collections held at Columbia College Chicago.
In part one, the students introduce us to the subject of Apartheid and five of the activists interviewed for the collection.
