In this episode of WURD Radio’s Summer of Freedom Cultural Series, host and executive producer Solomon Jones visits the Colored Girls Museum in Germantown with founder Vashti DuBois. Housed in an ordinary Philadelphia home, the museum documents and elevates the experiences of Black women and girls through art, installations, and storytelling.The feature explores how the museum began as a Fringe Festival performance and grew into a unique cultural institution. Listeners hear from DuBois, artists, and journalists about the significance of exhibits such as For Girls—a memorial to the four girls killed in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing—and how the museum addresses themes of trauma, resilience, and representation.The Summer of Freedom Podcast is brought to you by Comcast and Keystone First, and presented in partnership with the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia and the Society for the Preservation of African American Assets.Listen on-demand: Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube | RSS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the WURD App: ⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Android⁠⁠⁠Get the latest from WURD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠wurdradio.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support independent Black media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠wurdradio.com/support Follow us: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@onwurd⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@forwurd⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/onwurd
