Making Contact for June 10, 2008
9:30 PM - 10:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "My T-Shirt Says it All"
The T-shirt is a staple of the American wardrobe, worn by pretty much everyone at one time or another. It's a sort of common denominator in a culture marked by differences. On this edition, we'll hear how three T-shirt designers use the garments as a way to fight racism, communicate cultural identity, and mourn friends who've passed away.
This show has been a special collaboration between National Radio Project and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Thanks to student producer, Jacob Fenston who wrote and edited this show under the guidance of independent media producer and UC Berkeley journalism lecturer, Claire Schoen.
