RADIO RESOURCES

Why radio?

In the 1960s and '70s, local radio served as the political and social drumbeat of Black communities. Media consolidation in the '90s allowed corporate stations to supplant local voices and dominate our airwaves—until now.
Get inspired!

Community radio is an important means of amplifying the voices of Black folks and our allies who are working to address critical issues in our communities. Check out inspiring examples of people just like you who are using radio to make a difference.
