This week on the Huskie Conversation Café Podcast, we present a recorded lecture on the legacy of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable featuring Dr. Courtney Joseph. This lecture, recorded in October of 2021, brought the NIU community together to discuss the importance of oral history and storytelling in research and preserving the legacy of important historical figures such as Jean Baptiste Point du Sable who might otherwise be forgotten in the common practice of whitewashing history. Dr. Joseph provides some history of du Sable’s life before diving deep into her work. The episode concludes with a Q&A with Dr. Joseph and a call to action: visit the newly dedicated du Sable Hall on the NIU Campus!
