On this edition of WestSouthwest, people with ideas for social justice initiatives make their case over dinner. And a Western Michigan University Professor's new book on the history of the fur trade.
The next Urban Democracy Feast is being held December 19th at the Hispanic-American Council of Kalamazoo. In May, three projects were awarded money to launch new social justice projects, or help existing programs. Two of the winners from May, Jacob Pinney-Johnson and Majyck D, join WMUK's Gordon Evans to explain how the feast works.
Western Michigan University Anthropology Professor Michael Nassaeny is the author of the new book The Archeology of the North American Fur Trade. WMUK's Sehvilla Mann spoke with Nassaney about the history of the fur trade, and separating myth from fact.
