On Deck - Friday, February 12, 2021

WCBU's On Deck has everything you need to know to start your day for Friday, February 12, 2021. Our top story is about how the Peoria Riverfront Museum may not be opening to patrons again until next month, but that doesn't mean they're not still finding ways to honor Black history. You'll also hear how few people know rural Elmwood was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. WCBU student reporter Olivia Streeter talks to historian Brandon Butler about the Phelps Barn, and his mission to educate his community on the importance of Black history.
