The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $304,885 Project Grant to PRX Inc., a non-profit media company, to produce a seven-episode podcast series titled "Division Street Revisited." This series, plus a 1-hour opening special for public radio, will revisit Studs Terkel's seminal oral history collection "Division Street: America" by interviewing the children and grandchildren of the original participants. The podcast will explore how themes of race, work, labor rights, indigenous rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, conservation, and poverty have evolved over time. This project is funded through the NEH's Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164), which provides opportunities for the public to engage with human history and culture through humanities programs.

Division street revisited: a podcast series ["division street revisited" is a seven-episode podcast, plus a 1-hour opening special for airing on public radio, written and narrated by 2012 pulitzer prize winner for commentary mary schmich. In IT, we will revisit studs terkel's seminal debut oral history collection, "division street: america," by finding and talking with the children and grandchildren of the original participants to explore what their lives tell US about the country today. Each of the seven episodes will stand on its own and focus on a primary theme: race, work, labor rights, indigenous rights, lgbtqia+ rights, conservation and poverty. These episodes will be full stories that will show how and why each of the original portraits was created, and how those same themes echo and evolve in the present.]
