Obsidian Stories

The Clarke-Ford House is the oldest surviving house in Chicago, IL.  It was built in 1836 for Henry B. Clarke. From 1941 until 1970, Bishop Louis Henry and Margaret Ford saved it and restored it to landmark status.  Their grandson, Pastor Kevin Ford tells a story of growing up in this house, how it positively impacted the Black community and how it became a museum.

What is Obsidian Stories?

Join Angela Ford, Founder of The Obsidian Collection Archives as she illuminates a variety of interesting tales of the global Black Diaspora.
Season One is hosted by Joi Weathers, a brilliant media expert and podcaster. Obsidian Stories are conversations with the storytellers who created or unearthed the images, video and artifacts not seen in a very long time. Our stories focus on the joy, love, laughter and progress of the Black Diaspora. These tales help us reclaim the Black Narrative.
