black history

February is Black History Month (in America, that is). And to commemorate this, I've got a real treat lined up, and it's an episode I'm particularly excited about. Be sure to tune in on Monday at 10:00am or go to the 'Listen Again' feature to hear a special 1 hour 'Black History' mix featuring speeches, news reports and some of the best songs from black artists. Don't dare miss it.
