Kathryn sits down with Noble Sissle Jr. — producer, community builder, Vietnam veteran, and son of Harlem Renaissance legend Noble Sissle Sr. Together, they trace the remarkable legacy of the 369th Regiment, the “Harlem Hellfighters,” whose World War I service began right here in Spartanburg, South Carolina. From racial tension at Camp Wadsworth to introducing jazz to France, Sissle shares how his father’s story mirrors the cycles of history and struggle still echoing today. This conversation blends music, memory, and the fight for equality into a moving reminder that history not only repeats — it still sings.
