Open Record: Force of Nature
This week on Open Record, we commemorate 100 years of Black history in America.
In 1926, a Chicago man designated one week in February as "Negro History Week." Fifty years later, in 1976, President Gerald Ford officially proclaimed February "Black History Month." This week on Open Record, we commemorate 100 years of Black history in America. FOX6 Investigator Bryan Polcyn is joined by FOX6's Bria Jones and meteorologist Holly Baker. They discuss the death of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, a push to get more attention for missing Black girls and women in Milwaukee, and a profile of America's first Black (and first female) TV meteorologist. Hear how a bank robbery landed her the job of her dreams!
