Don’t miss Part I of the Golden Age of Black Radio: The Early Years. Writer Richard Durham’s pioneering radio dramas are talked about in interviews with late veteran DJ Jack (the Rapper) Gibson and Durham’s wife Clarice Davis Durham.
Many of the audio clips featured in this fascinating online exhibit were pulled from interviews recorded for the Smithsonian Institution’s multi-award winning radio documentary series, Black Radio: Telling It Like It Was.
This 13-part series aired on public radio stations 
nationwide and featured the voices, stories and insights of African American men and women who worked in front of and behind radio’s microphones from its earliest days through the mid-1990s.
Happily, I was one of the three writers/producers who brought the Black Radio series to life, and who interviewed some of the many colorful radio personalities and innovators.
So visit this historic online exhibit at your leisure…and enjoy!
