Show Notes
Black Americans’ relationship to the Pacific Ocean between the 16th and 20th centuries is the focus of a new exhibit on display at the Central Library in downtown San Diego.
It's called "Take Me to the Water: Histories of the Black Pacific." On Midday Edition, we talk about the exhibit with the curator behind the project.
Then, we get a preview of the Without Walls Festival, featuring interactive and nontraditional theater on the UC San Diego campus.
Plus, we preview this year's San Diego Book Crawl, coinciding with Independent Bookstore Day. We'll hear from a panel of local booksellers.
