Review of this program on PRX (Public Radio Exchange):
Posted: 2-5-2007
Reviewer: Arvid Hokanson, Assistant Program Director, KUOW Public Radio
I like the way the speeches are edited together in a brief, punchy style. With the music underneath, it makes for powerful, engaging listening. The selections are also excellent for conveying feelings about civil rights history. Not much else needs to be said, hearing the speeches should be enough for you to find a slot to air this.
From past broadcasts, we know that listeners enjoy hearing these speeches. This is an excellent choice for Black History Month - or anytime of year for that matter. It works as a half-hour, or can be combined with a 22 or 29 minute piece to round out an hour.
Rating: 4/5
Adjectives: Emotional, Engaging, Raw
