In Broadcasting Freedom, Barbara Savage links these cultural and political forces by showing how African American activists, public officials, intellectuals, and artists sought to access and use radio to influence a national debate about racial inequality. 586 Herbert Hoover Book Award, 1999. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 651 0 United States |xRace relations. 650 0 African Americans |xCivil rights |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 African Americans in radio broadcasting |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Radio broadcasting |xSocial aspects |zUnited States. 650 0 Radio programs |zUnited States |xHistory. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zUnited States. 776 08 |iOnline version:Savage, Barbara Dianne. |tBroadcasting freedom. |dChapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, 1999 |w(OCoLC)607107970 830 0 John Hope Franklin series in African American history and culture. 856 42 |3Table of contents |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0837/98048030-t.html 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0837/98048030-d.html 852 0 |bstacks |hE185.61 |i.S32 1999
