Intro

In Julie Blackmon's Crystal Ball, the uncanny representation or reality reveals deep truths about parenthood. The Sioux City Art Center's Todd Behrens takes us into this photograph where expectations become a medium for building understanding.   

Join us every Wednesday morning as we explore the collection of the Sioux City Art Center.

Seems easy enough, simple and true: once you're free, that’s it--no going back. Free at last. Makes sense.

Well, not so. In the case of more than one slave and former slave, being free for a time, or having been free for months or even years, was not a ticket to ride because by law in these United States it was altogether possible and perfectly legal for a free man or woman to be returned to an owner and thus chained up once more, improbable as that may seem.

On this week's MTDP, we'll say goodbye to summer with new tunes from Courtney Barnett, The Wrecks and Trish Toledo, along with an all-time classic from Debbie Harry and Blondie.
