It's the last episode of our first season! This week, we chat with Kevin Coval, a poet and activist. Kevin is the Artistic Director for Young Chicago Authors, a nonprofit that helps Chicago kids discover their voice. He is also the winner of the 2018 Studs Terkel Award and the author of "A People’s History of Chicago." We talk with Kevin about how art and community can help shape each other.
