  • Legendary Pioneers of Black Radio Gilbert A
    LEGENDARY PIONEERS OF BLACK RADIO GILBERT A. WILLIAMS After World War II, when thousands of African Americans left farms, plantations, and asouthern way of life to migrate north, African Amer- ican disc jockeys helped them make the transition to the urban life by playing familiar music and giving them tips on how to function in northern cities. These disc jockeys became cultural heroes and had a major role in the development of American broadcasting. This collec- tion of interviews documents the personalities of the pioneers of Black radio, as well as their per- sonal struggles and successes.

    Moving Forward with the Plan KJuer the f^ast 100 UJearSj black political and intellectual giants have dedicated their lives to changing America's political and economic structures, making them more responsive to the needs of black and poor Americans. Appropriately, the challenge which now faces us, on the eve of this nation's 200 th Birthday, is involving broad segments of the black population in making effective use of those structures. The seventeen-member Congressional Black Caucus has A A/ established for itself, the role of a national legislative body, f acting as a nucleus for the involvement of black and poor citizens in the legislative process. In keeping with that role, the Caucus willfeature at its Fifth Annual Dinner Weekend, the outline of a plan for creating a national legislative agenda— one which has the ongoing input and involvement of the black community. In developing this broader Agenda, the Caucus willestablish a process for using the expertise, resources and ideas of those Americans traditionally shortchanged and forgotten in the setting of national policies. While the Black Caucus' focus is on projecting and protecting the needs of black and poor Americans, we are keenly aware that the problems of blacks are inextricably tied to the needs and problems of all Americans. Thus, we willdevelop linkages to others who share our concern about the need for new legislative priorities. As the nation now prepares to assess its history and heritage in the Bicentennial celebration, we see emerging, a potentially new majority—one that willvigorously use economic and political structures to assure power and progress for all citizens.
