A More Perfect Union

A More Perfect Union

How well do America's ideals match up to reality? A More Perfect Union, a podcast from the Center for Washington Cultural Traditions, poses this question to different communities in Washington State. Focusing on groups sidelined and sometimes silenced in the American story, you'll hear from Latine Americans in Wenatchee, LGBTQ+ activists from across eastern Washington, and Black Americans from around the Salish Sea. Is American democracy and its aspirations a fantasy or a reality? Come with us to discover that the answer is much more complicated and interesting than the question. Langston Hughes once wrote, in response to Walt Whitman, "I Too, Sing America." A More Perfect Union gives voice to Washingtonians who also sing America. The podcasts are presented by the Center for Washington Cultural Traditions, Humanities Washington, and ArtsWA/The Washington State Arts Commission.
