Order Yours Today!
Re-discover the almost forgotten
heroes, legends and stories...
the tragedies and triumphs
of Black American History
in this Vintage Audio CollectionThis fascinating collection of vintage radio programs from the 1940s dramatize the history of Black Americans up to the mid 20th Century in an amazingly frank and open manner that you just won't find anywhere else in this "politically correct" day and age.
These are true tales of Black Americans from colonial and slave days to modern times... their music, stories, folktales and culture... stories of both common folk and celebrities... truly make history come to vivid life again for the listener.
What was life REALLY like for Black Americans
100 years ago... 200 years ago...
In your Great Grandparents' day...?
Just "tune in" and listen -- and prepare to transported
back in time...Originally broadcast over 60 years ago, these programs are in fact authentic "living history" themselves. They are an amazing archive not only of Black American History, but also of the remarkable time after World War II (but before the Civil Rights movement began) when horrible "Jim Crow" laws still applied in much of our country, and people were just beginning to truly come to terms with relations between the races. They reflect the ideals and struggles of a country coming to grips with itself, past and present, in a remarkable way.
This period of Black American History is so overshadowed by the subsequent Civil Rights Movement which began in the 1960s, that many of the stories of these early pioneers and their achievements are sadly neglected and "forgotten" in most text books today.
These are captivating, riveting audio stories (in good to excellent sound quality) from which we can learn much about our past and about ourselves today -- great dramatic radio suitable for the entire family! Don't miss this collection!
