The Toad Listens: Pain and Perspective (video part 2)
Pain and Perspective video series: part two
Typically, the Joplin Toad takes an A-political stance; our goal is to lift up our community and the art and culture within it. During this sometimes troubling year, however, we felt the urge to do a new kind of series that we feel is based not on political issues, but human ones.
We interviewed 6 respected and kindhearted residents of Joplin Missouri, all of whom are people of color. These folks love their city deeply, and from that perspective, lend their thoughts and stories about being a person of color in these times and in this place. This is the second chapter in that series.
Part 2 dwells on personal stories.
