Our conversation this week is with Julian Rankin - Executive Director of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, former Director of the Center for Art & Public Exchange at the Mississippi Museum of Art, author of Catfish Dream: Ed Scott's Fight for His Family Farm and Racial Justice in the Mississippi Delta, and child of both Mississippi and North Carolina.
Lots of good stuff in this episode. The monumental life of Ed Scott. Learning to listen. Taking the call to adventure. Finding your own voice. The everyday influence of great Southern writers. Quiet contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. The nefarious history of agricultural agencies. And a fitting end to Ed Scott's story.
