Kankakee Public Library Podcasts

The Kankakee Public Library was honored to welcome Dr. Margaret Burroughs, founder of the DuSable Museum of African American History. Dr. Burroughs is a teacher, author, poet, and artist. During her talk, she read an essay about Harriet Tubman, another on aviator Bessie Coleman, and a humorous poem about aging. Though largely retired, Dr. Burroughs continues to do public speaking, and to teach art to prisoners. She spoke to commemorate "Women Making History Month."
