Life's Voices: Robert Biko Baker Works to Change the Narrative for People of Color in Milwaukee

Robert Biko Baker says that Milwaukee has a history of coming together, but in these highly politicized times, people are forgetting that history.

WUWM's year-end Life's Voices series continues with a profile of Robert Biko Baker. After earning at Ph.D. in history from UCLA, Baker -- a Milwaukee native -- returned home to make a difference. 

After the Sherman Park uprising last year, Baker launched an internet series called "My Black Story" to tell more complete stories about African Americans and Milwaukee. He talked with WUWM's LaToya Dennis about his background, and how he got involved in creating the internet series.

LaToya was a reporter with WUWM from 2006 to 2021.
