Radio and the struggle for civil rights in the South

"Radio and the Struggle for Civil Rights in the South offers important new insights into the connections among radio, race relations, and the civil rights and black power movements in the South from the 1920s to the mid 1970s. For the mass of African Americans - and many whites - living in the region during this period, radio was the foremost source of news and information. Consequently, it is impossible to fully understanding the origins and development of the African American freedom struggle, changes in racial consciousness, and the transformation of southern racial practices without recognizing how radio simultaneously entertained, informed, educated, and mobilized black and white southerners."—BOOK JACKET.
