    S2 Ep. 22: "A Worn Path," by Eudora Welty

    In this episode, Jamira, Jena, and Cheyenne talk about “A Worn Path,” by Eudora Welty. The story chronicles the journey of an old woman going to town to get medicine for her sick grandson. It sounds simple enough, but not for a black woman who is not that far removed from the life of a slave. The trio talk about the story and how they see the issues surrounding racism in modern times.  Cheyenne had some audio issues in this episode, so my apologies to the listeners and to Cheyenne for having to cut some of what she said. Even still, it is a great conversation to hear because of the points of view of these students. We hope you enjoy.
