Community History 365 | Johnson City, TN

Community History 365 tells stories from Johnson City’s rich multicultural history, stories you’ve probably never heard. Community History 365 respects the past so we can recognize the present and realize the future. We’ll be sharing stories from across Johnson City and its history, from a black physician who helped found Langston High School in the 1800s to the Negro Music Festival in 1947, and more. Pull up a chair and stick around. --- CH365 is distributed by LEAD (Langston Education and Arts Development), a nonprofit created by Langston High School alumni. Seeking to preserve the school building’s integrity, legacy, and historical value, LEAD helped the building open up as the Langston Centre, a multicultural facility that serves the community as part of the City of Johnson City Parks and Recreation Department. This podcast is produced in the Langston Centre’s Media Lab.
