How Subtle Language Can Create a Culture of Segregation
Clip: 2/22/2022 | 11m 29sVideo has Closed Captions
The creator of the Folded Map Project on bringing people together.
Since we first met Tonika Lewis Johnson in 2020, she has expanded the Folded Map project -- adding workshops, a play and a movie. On top of all that, she collaborated with sociologist Maria Krysan to create the "DON'T GO" project -- that's a series of interviews with 30 people who confronted and eventually combatted harmful narratives about Chicago’s South and West sides.
