In 2022 Juneteenth and Fathers Day were on the same day. Ben went into the old location for the Hatian American Museum of Chicago. The new location for HAMOC is on Clark, near Montrose. This is included in an episode from 2022 called Voice Episode.

The Voice Episode includes recordings of Community Members, Voice of the People of Uptown, and Elsie Hernadez from HAMOC.

The episode calls this collection of recordings an audio novela. Apparently 2022 me had quite an ego or at least a lot more energy.
