Listen "Making Space"
Episode Synopsis
Our host Lyndon Pryor, Interim LUL President & CEO, is joined by Louisville's own Poet Laureate, Hannah Drake. Hannah is an author, spoken word artist, and activist who gained national attention in 2019 when her poem "All You Had to Do Was Play the Game, Boy" was shared by NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick in his public protest of police brutality against Black men and women.
The duo discuss the work of fighting racism, voter apathy, and the long-term commitment that must be made for justice. Hannah also leads The (Un)Known Project whose goal is to exhume the names and stories of the enslaved that America had buried and hidden.
