Joseph McGill, Jr., a native of Kingstree now living in the Charleston area, eats, breathes and sleeps African American history - literally. McGill is the founder of the nearly three-year-old Slave Dwelling Project, during which he has slept in 38 former slave cabins in 12 states to draw attention to the existence of the structures and to pay tribute to his enslaved ancestors. In March, McGill will sleep in a former slave dwelling at Hopsewee Plantation in Georgetown County. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews McGill about the Slave Dwelling Project on the current African American History Month special edition of Insight.

Black History Month on Radio Baha’i 1

Greg KintzFebruary 7, 20131 Comment

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.

Insight on Libraries

Greg KintzFebruary 6, 2013

If you watched the Super Bowl Sunday and saw the commercial showing a fight over cookies taking place in a library, you probably didn’t recognize the place if you have visited a public library lately. The library in the commercial consists mostly of books, chairs, tables and bookcase with hardly any computers in sight. Today’s libraries, by contrast, have many computers, e-readers and other technology that have transformed them into what they are often called in schools – media centers. On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Marilynn Lance Robb, manager of the Carvers Bay Branch of the Georgetown County Library, about their offerings and how the Digital Revolution has affected public libraries.

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

Greg KintzJanuary 23, 2013

Children living in poverty face special challenges in achieving any kind of success, especially in the public education system. According to Dr. Tammy Pawloski, teachers and the public education system as a whole have to take the socioeconomic status of children into consideration in order to educate them effectively. On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Dr. Pawloski, who is professor of education and director of the Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty at Francis Marion University in Florence.

Listen to "Insight" Wednesdays and Mondays, at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM, and midnight, at 90.9 FM, Radio Baha'i.
