Event Horizon

Wiley Jones was an extraordinary man. Born into slavery, a self-made entrepreneur, all in a time when discrimination and violence were at its highest. The Arkansas Podcast Collaborative presents A Respected Color, a limited podcast series on the life of Wiley Jones as we spent over a year researching and piecing together his story. We are joined by Black History experts and go far beyond anything taught in schools about the Jim Crow South and how it relates today in 2025.
