Tanner Humanities Lecture: A Conversation With Martha S. Jones
February is Black History Month, but even those of us who grew up learning a few names of notable historical African-Americans probably can t come up with a female name beyond Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman.

Last spring, when coronavirus lockdown restrictions were first lifted, Jamie Bedard painted a mural on an exterior brick wall of Asiana House, a restaurant on the corner of Pearl Street and South Winooski Avenue in Burlington. She rendered her landscape in gray and black, with a flowering pink tree on the side where she signed her work. The idea for the painting emerged from a project at Folsom Education and Community Center in South Hero, where Bedard teaches art; the students were studying Chinese ink painting. My joy is to bring beauty to things, said Bedard, 37, who grew up and lives in Burlington.

Today s Rando Texto dealt with that question exactly when a listener wrote in that her son is demanding that the family name their cars because his mom owns a Jeep and he just got one as well. You can t have 2 cars called Jeep in one family the son says, so he needs helping name the cars. Also on the show, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the movie Happy Gilmore , Fish tries to tell us that renting and owning are the same thing in a Connie and Fish Rewind, and because it is Lent, we asked you what you would give up for 40 days.
