Radio Baha'i is celebrating Back History month with a series of programs produced by SI Communications: 4 one hour programs which will be aired on Thursdays at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and midnight; and three mini-program series, with 14 episodes each, that will be aired throughout the day. These programs join our own Trial and Triumph mini-programs that feature South Carolinians. Below is the information provided by SI communications about their programs.
The Civil Rights Movement was won in the face of attack dogs, Klansmen, fire hoses, arrests and even death. The men and women who participated were soldiers on the battlefield of freedom, justice and equality, winning through demonstrations and non-violent disobedience. The most recognizable heroes of The Movement are Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks. But there are many more heroes whose names and deeds should be known by our young adults. Those heroes of the movement include A. Phillip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, James Meredith, Wyatt T. Walker, Medgar Evers, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Angela Davis, the Little Rock Nine and many more.
S I Communications is proud to present this epic radio series throughout 2013. The Movement will provide a contemporary and fresh look at the struggle for equality in America from the early fifties through the turbulent sixties and seventies using music and narration. Actor Flex Alexander and singer Shanice will guide the listening audience through each entertaining hour of The Movement.
