UP & DOWN FARISH STREET
A blast from the past, as we move toward Black History Month we veer from the norm and talk about people that others say very little about, mainly because they really don’t know. Also, what is the real story of Farish Street? What was it like in its heyday? What were the people like? Was it just adrift in music and restaurants? Of course the answer is NO! We look at people who made “real” history. We answer questions and then we Move on Down the Line!
