701a The US Civil Rights Trail; Wild Arctic Svalbard
About this episode
The episode discusses the US Civil Rights Trail and climate changes observed in Svalbard.
Hear how the US Civil Rights Trail, with 100 stops across 14 states, was organized to help all Americans get an up-close look at the movement to dismantle Jim Crow laws across the South. And listen in as ecologist Chris Morgan describes changes he's observed on Norway's Svalbard archipelago — halfway between the mainland and the North Pole — which indicate how our warming climate is a threat to life in the Arctic.
