Beyond the Struggle

Black Radio

This week's Beyond the Struggle is about Black radio, something we don't talk about nearly enough. It's a platform we built for ourselves, and every president still has to come through it to win. I get into where it started, a man who bought the first Black-owned station in 1949 because he wasn't even allowed to use the bathroom where he worked, and bring it all the way up to the Tom Joyner intro that lived in my mom's car on every drive to my gramma's house. Come pull up a chair!
