THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHTS Feel of Vision
Sunday, October 4 at 7pm Explore the incredible story of Lonnie Bedwell—the first blind person to kayak the Grand Canyon’s Colorado River. Raised in Duggar, Indiana, Bedwell grew up hunting and fishing. In 1997, Bedwell’s life changed forever after a hunting accident left him blind. After losing his sight, Bedwell’s confidence in his most basic abilities was shaken. Eventually, Bedwell began to relearn tasks and activities and started to envision a future where he could take his life back. Little by little, Bedwell relearned carpentry, fishing and hunting, and a new challenge—kayaking.

Join Us for WTIU’s 3rd Annual Conference on Aging Getting older can be a daunting prospect or an amazing adventure. The physical, mental, and social aspects that come with it are important to understand. That’s why this year WTIU is hosting a virtual conference to explore, explain, and navigate some of the mysteries of aging. The third annual WTIU Conference on Aging will be held online every Saturday at 10am from October 3 through November 21, 2020. WTIU is pulling together area experts and resources to help participants find the answers to many questions associated with getting older, including important issues that can help you and your family. You’ll learn what to ask, who to ask, and how to make wise decisions now that keep your options open as you age. The conference will include eight sessions, covering the topics of COVID-19, What You Need to Know About Social Security; Medicare 101, Supplemental, and Long Term Care Insurance; Resilience in the Stages of Aging; the Sandwich Generation; Saving for and Making Money in Retirement; Romance After 50; and Genealogy and Collecting Family Stories. Each session will include a live chat feature so participants can ask experts questions. The sessions are free and are open to both caregivers and those who would like some advice on more informed aging. Register online at wtiu.org/aging. The third annual WTIU Conference on Aging is made possible with support from presenting partner Bloomington Health Foundation; supporting partners Sharepower Investments – Bill Stant, Bell Trace, Cook Medical, Estate & Downsizing Specialists; and contributing partners Christopher J. Holly – Elder Law Attorney, Comfort Keepers, Elder’s Journey Home Care, Santo Family Insurance, Dr. Brittain for Vibrant Life, and Evergreen Village.

October Program Additions Bring Renewed Localism, Diversity This month we’re making room for a handful of new programs. Earth Eats is expanding from 30 minutes to an hour! It will remain in the 7 a.m. hour on Saturdays; and we’ll reair it Sunday afternoons at 1. On WFIU2, we will be adding Jazz Night in America. Live from Here, a Saturday evening staple, has ended production. Occupying its two-hour slot at 6 p.m. will be PorchLight with Tom Roznowski and The Thistle & Shamrock. Each of those programs is moving up two hours, as is The Soul Kitchen with Brother William Morris—you now can hear it from 8 to 10 p.m. Joining the Saturday lineup after The Soul Kitchen is The Midnight Special. Sylvia & Friends will also air an encore broadcast on Sunday evenings from 8 to 11. Following it is the premiere of Feminine Fusion. The New York Philharmonic will move to 10 p.m. Wednesday after SymphonyCast. Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is moving from Thursday evenings to Tuesdays after The Score, and will be followed at 11 p.m. by Classical Guitar Alive. Thursdays will now find Harmonia at 8 p.m. followed by Fiesta! and, at 10, a new addition, Concierto.

landscape as never before, and confronted challenges and dangers unknown to white drivers and travelers. Meanwhile, across the country, the automobile and the highway were dramatically changing the external and internal geography of America—socially, economically, politically, culturally, and technologically—beyond recognition.
This feature-length documentary film chronicles the history of African Americans on the road from the 1930s to the late 1960s—a crucial and transformative period in American racial, cultural, and social history. As black Americans navigated the brave new world of the automobile and the highway in the last four decades of Jim Crow America—from the depths of the Depression to the heyday of the Civil Rights movement and beyond—they seized opportunities for mobility and freedom in the American
Based on over a decade of research by acclaimed African American historian Dr. Gretchen Sorin, the film draws on a rich archive of material from the period—including photographs, advertisements, road signs, maps, letters, and legal records—along with riveting oral histories and the on-camera insights of scholars, writers, musicians, artists, religious leaders, and ordinary American travelers. Driving While Black is structured by the emergence, flourishing, and eventual obsolescence of a new genre of travel literature aimed at facilitating black automobile travel during the period; including The Negro Motorist Green Book, which was considered “the bible of black travel during Jim Crow.”
