Belonging In Utah: Black History on KUTV

 Jamie, me, and Alice walking and talking on Franklin Ave, now Edison St, 2022.

Yesterday, KUTV aired Jamie McGriff's interview with Alice Burch and myself as part of her Belonging In Utah series.

We are part of the Sema Hadithi Foundation focused on telling the story of Black history in Utah. Alice is the Director of Special Events while I am a researcher for the Black Women's group.

P.S.: Sema Hadithi is active on Facebook. Check them out.

One of the few remaining buildings still standing from the Franklin Ave days, 235 S Edison St.
As pictured here it is the Salvation Army's Wokmen's Hotel but was originally built as the Franklin Ave Theater.
