Larry Monroe grew up in Columbia, and for decades, he’s been a long-standing member of the city’s black community.
He’s seen Columbia evolve to the city it is today, watching first-hand the many changes, both good and bad, that have happened here over his lifetime.
In this edition of You Don’t Say, Monroe and KBIA’s Isabella Paxton sits down with Cedric Alvis, Monroe’s grandson, and the football coach at Hickman High School. Both having played football in high school, they talk about their experiences on and off of the field, and how football in Columbia has changed since Monroe played.
You Don’t Say is a special project commissioned by the City of Columbia’s bicentennial Como200 task force. It’s co-produced by the Sharp End Heritage Committee and KBIA.
