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.

Unless you live in Georgetown County or have studied its history, you’ll probably learn something new about the county’s history during the current edition of Insight. For instance, do you know about McKenzie Beach? It was one of the most popular African American beach resorts of its time. Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Charlie Parker played there on a regular  basis.

Located between Pawleys Island and Litchield Beach, the resort thrived from the 1930s until 1954 when it was destroyed by Hurricane Hazel. This is just one of the stories in Georgetown resident Steve Williams’ book, Ebony Effects: 150 Unknown Facts about Blacks in Georgetown, SC. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Williams about the history contained in the book.

Insight airs Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and Midnight, on 90.9 FM, Radio Baha'i.

Zenobia Washington and the Georgetown Outreach Ministries, Inc. (GOMINC) believe that they are their brother’s keeper, especially their younger brothers who have had run-ins with the law. Washington is the director of GOMINC’s My Brother’s Keeper program. Currently, the major focus of the program is to help mostly young men, but some young women, remove financial impediments to moving forward positively with their lives. Persons the program serves are those that owe money – restitution, court fees, and fines for driving violations – that they don’t have or can’t get to the criminal justice system. Washington and My Brother’s Keeper help them come up creative ways to raise the money so that they can clear their names, or in some cases, get their driver’s licenses back, so that they can move forward with their lives. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Washington about the My Brother’s Keeper program on the current edition of Insight (#45).
