    Cross Cultural Identity with Héctor Gonzalez: The Chicago Monuments Response Project, Part 3
    Nov 4 2026

    We opened this season with conversations with Sonja Henderson and Sadie Woods, creators of the We Still Here monument as part of Chicago's Monuments Response Project. Héctor Gonzalez joins us today as he is the creator of Tierra Nuestra, another monument created as part of Chicago's project. Héctor shares with us about how his monument embraces the cross cultural identities that many Americans share, yet rarely see in the monuments landscape.

    The Birthplace of Juneteenth: Galveston and World Heritage with Samuel Collins III
    Oct 7 2026

    Although Juneteenth is a relatively new federal holiday, it's been celebrated in Galveston since its beginning. Today, we're joined by Samuel Collins III, a 7th-generation Texan who works to educate people about the holiday and how monuments around the globe can benefit from incorporating Juneteenth's impact into the interpretation of their place-based heritage.
