Season 8 Episode 2 | 26m 30sVideo has Closed Captions

Wayne Dowdy tells us more stories about Memphis and 'The History You Do Not Know.'

The history we learned in school was mostly about wars and disasters, kings and queens and Presidents and Generals. But much of the time, history is made by people you’ve never heard of. In part two of our conversation with Wayne Dowdy, archivist with the Memphis Public Library, we find out a few more stories about Memphis and ‘The History You Do Not Know.’
