The Start of Something Civic

With Civic Season officially underway, hosts Maggie Bell, Cameron Katz and Gabriel Cruz share what events they’re adding to their calendars over the next few weeks. Plus, Kristian Weatherspoon and Claire Haley join the show for a recap of how the Atlanta History Center celebrated Juneteenth and a preview of their upcoming activations.
