Wiley Jones was an extraordinary man. Born into slavery, a self-made entrepreneur, all in a time when discrimination and violence were at its highest. The Arkansas Podcast Collaborative presents A Respected Color, a limited podcast series on the life of Wiley Jones as we spent over a year researching and piecing together his story. We are joined by Black History experts and go far beyond anything taught in schools about the Jim Crow South and how it relates today in 2025.Hosted, filmed, produced, and edited by Ti KingMusic: "Southern Gothic" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/This podcast was made possible by the Curtis H Sykes Memorial Grant, supporting projects that preserve, commemorate, and enhance the heritage of African Americans in Arkansas.
