Description

Radio connected people like never before. It changed the way we received information and advertising, as well as how we listened to music. Everyone got to enjoy radio … but that doesn’t mean everyone got to participate. How and why did African-Americans get excluded? In this episode we explore the origins of how the medium of radio rose to dominance and changed the world, and how African-Americans refused to be denied.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
