Quinton Mason and Tim Michel

Description

[Recorded: Friday, November 18th, 2022]
Quinton (31) and Tim (74) have a One Small Step conversation at the WTJU studio in Charlottesville, Virginia. Quinton is a Master of Architecture student at the University of Virginia, and Tim is a semi-retired artist. Quinton soon finds out that Tim received his Master's in Landscape Architecture from UVA in the 1970s, a source of significant common ground. Quinton discusses growing up as a young black man in Richmond, Virginia, and how the history and accessibility of public spaces inspired him to pursue his degree. Tim shares about how he considers himself a political independent, and how he has been confronting his own privilege in recent years. Their conversation ends on another exciting commonality - their shared love of singing.
