Born around 1853 on an Alabama plantation, the artist Bill Traylor lived a life spanning the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation, and the Great Migration. Through his drawings, he would later become known as one of the greatest outsider artists in American history, and to some is considered the father of American modernism. His story is told in a new documentary, "Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts," and director Jeffrey Wolf and producer Sam Pollard join us to discuss.
