Reclaiming a Family Legacy Through Art

The descendants of David Drake, known as Dave the Potter, are tracing their lineage back to the once-enslaved potter and working to reclaim his art and their family’s story.

Their journey raises larger questions about ownership, legacy, and restitution when the work of enslaved artists lives in collections far removed from their descendants.

PBS News’ Geoff Bennett speaks with descendants Pauline Baker and her son, Yaba Baker, for Canvas.

WHUT is stepping out of the office and into the city!

We stopped by the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library to check out their latest lobby exhibit—and let’s just say, a few things definitely caught our attention.

And the timing couldn’t be better, because we’re getting ready to celebrate 50 years of the Quiet Storm with our sister station, WHUR 96.3 FM, at Art All Night on Friday, September 11.

Come along and see what we found!”
