This week on Eastern Standard we present two views that in many ways defy what we have been taught about American racial and indigenous history. Literary contributor Kevin Nance sits down with Kristine Yohe and Frank X Walker to discuss Yohe’s book: “Reckoning with the Past: The Historical Poetry of Frank X Walker.” Tom Martin gets a deeply researched perspective on who called Kentucky home before this place became “Kentucky.” His guest: Stephen Warren, author of “The Worlds The Shawnee Made.” And Sylvia Lovely joins us with details of an effort to recognize women of Fayette County whose contributions have been made behind the scenes.
