John Charles Bryant was a lifelong historian of South Bend's African American community.

As we honor the third anniversary of his passing, we share a special episode of "South Bend’s Own Words" featuring clips from the last oral histories he recorded with us. With stories from over a century and a half, John Charles shares his rich family history and personal experiences, highlighting his and his ancestors’ long legacy building this city.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, on the web, or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Whether you’re a poet with words to share, a listener hoping to sit back and enjoy, or both, the Poetry Den has been the place in South Bend to unite poets and friends for over ten years.

Founder and host Pam Blair starts with an open microphone featuring a wide variety of voices and styles. The evening finishes with this month’s featured artist, Ayla Walters.

This free event is offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Because some poets may use mature language, participation by those 18 and older is encouraged.
