Winfred Rembert is a remarkable artist who lives in Connecticut. He creates his art out of leather, having learned his leather working skills in a Georgia prison in between shifts on a chain gang. Born in 1945, Rembert grew up in Cuthbert, the county seat of Randolph County in southwest Georgia. As a teenager, he got involved in the civil rights movement. He told Greg Cook of WBUR in Boston the rest of his story.
