[Thread] So, it took having to do a search on the website, but I managed to find the #BlackHistoryMonth audio archives on the #WMPG website. Hopefully, the ones from 2025 will also be posted on their website (and the ones already posted won't disappear...).

Black History month - daily short history audio features

Posted February 3, 2021 by 'mpger

"Everyday in the month of February (Black history month), WMPG is airing a short audio feature about an influential Black man or woman in history. We’ll hear about people from Maine to Malawi. We celebrate scientists, radicals, teachers, preachers, musicians, athletes, and those who fought to followed their dreams. You can hear them all again right here: #BillieHoliday , #LeonardCummings , #MaconBollingAllen , #HarrietTubman , #NelsonMandela , #ShirleyChisholm , #MarshaPJohnson , #GordonParks , #JackieRobinson, #AngelaDavis , #ThurgoodMarshall , #StevieWonder , #Lizzo , #CornellWest , #TrevorNoah , #MaeJemison , #TaranaBurke , #AlvinAiley , #JosephineBaker, #RhiannonGiddens, #SunRa, and #LaverneCox."
