Saluki basketball Hall of Famer Mike Glenn was back on the SIU-Carbondale campus last week for a presentation as part of the community’s Freedom to Freedom celebration.
WSIU's Brad Palmer sat down with Glenn to talk about his collection of African-American rare books and memorabilia to provide lessons into his research of Black history in America.
