Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood. A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. to accident victims, cancer patients and Sickle Cell patients. Blood cannot be manufactured and can only come from generous donors. Although an estimated 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, less than 10% actually do each year, according to the American Red Cross. On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Jamie Muldrow of the SC Chapter of the American Red Cross about the need for blood donations, the donation process and how the blood is used.

Insight airs on 90.9 FM, Radio Baha'i today, Monday, Jan. 20th, at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and midnight *EST).

Below are the special programs airing on Radio Baha'i in celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

SUNDAY and TUESDAY, 10am, 7pm, midnight – Peace Talks: MLK: Three Landmark Speeches
Peace Talks Radio producer Paul Ingles interviews two leading King scholars, asking each to pick speeches from those years to focus on. You’ll hear from Dr. Vincent Harding, Professor of Religion and Social Transformation at Illiff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado and a personal friend and speech writing colleague of Dr. King in the 1960’s. Also mixed into our program, you’ll hear Dr. Clayborne Carson, who at Coretta Scott King’s request, has been directing the King Papers Project since 1985. Dr. Carson established the Martin Luther King, Jr., Research and Education Institute at Stanford University in 2005. The speeches these scholars chose were… King’s last address, the night before his assassination in Memphis in April, 1968. Also, the speech he made a year to the day before he was killed, called “Beyond Vietnam,” in which Dr. King came out publicly and explicitly in opposition to the Vietnam War. And from March of 1965, Dr. King’s remarks that he made at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery marches, considered a turning point in the struggle for Voting Rights and equality for African Americans.

MONDAY / KING DAY, 12:00 - 3:00 PM – The Movement – The King Years
"The Movement – The King Years," is a contemporary look at the struggle for equality in America from the early fifties through the turbulent sixties and seventies through music and narration. The program is narrated by actor Flex Alexander and singer Shanice Wilson.

Currently running – King: A Countdown to the Holiday, a series of fifteen 1-minute programs that are airing everyday this week.
King: A Countdown to the Holiday is an intimate portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through a combination of actualities, music and host comments. Hosted by the late Avery Brooks, each of the fifteen 60 second vignettes will reveal a facet of Dr. King’s character and beliefs as we listen to excerpts from his speeches and comments from those who knew and loved him best. This award-winning series is a perfect prelude to the celebration of one of our nation’s finest leaders.
