Listen Later

On the evening of August 8, 1988, 36,399 sports fans were firsthand witnesses to Chicago history. Join us on The Memory Project as your pal Dud Lawson interviews printmaker, photographer and educator K. James Henderson about what it was like to be in the stands for Opening Night at historic Wrigley Field. Tune in to hear the two artists and frequent collaborators recount the events leading up to the Cubbies’ very first ball game

played under the lights at home and reflect on the many changes The Friendly Confines have seen since.
