(Feb 21, 2024) February is Black History month, and this week, NCPR is re-airing stories from the past year that focus on Black heritage and life in the North Country. Today, we hear from the author and prison reform activist Alice Green, who grew up in a small mining community on Lake Champlain in the 1950s and '60s. When Green was a kid, her family was one of only two Black families in their town. She speaks about how her childhood in the Adirondacks has shaped her life's work.
