The collapse of Freedmanβs Bank / Remembering Abdullah Ibrahim
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
βIn Savings and Trust,β historian Justene Hill Edwards tells the story of the Freedman’s Bank. Created for formerly enslaved people following the Civil War, its collapse cost depositors millions. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about how this part of history reverberates today.
Also, we remember South African pianist, composer and bandleader Abdullah Ibrahim. He died Monday, at age 91. His song βMannenbergβ was an anthem during the fight to end apartheid. Jazz historian Kevin Whitehead shares an appreciation, and we listen back to Terry Grossβs 1989 interview with him.Β
