Why Race Matters elevates issues of importance affecting Wisconsin’s Black communities. Producer and host Angela Fitzgerald connects in conversation with everyday people whose work and commitments center on race, identity, and achieving racial equity in the state. We share stories of artists, community organizers, health professionals, and subject experts, and listen to the layered, lived experiences of Black people living in Wisconsin. We explore topics simultaneously historic and urgent — Black mental health, civic engagement, maternal well-being, the school-to-prison pipeline, Black farmers and land ownership — while offering hope, guidance and resources to thrive.
