Nikki Giovanni was vital to what we wished to communicate in the early days of The Black Experience in Music at WKDU. We felt it to be important that through what we played on the air we expressed the reality of life in America in the early 70's. She said what was important for us to express in our desire to connect with the Black community that surrounded the university at that time. Rest in Peace, Ms. Giovanni, and Thank You. We will remember and honor you as long as we are able to do so.

Please join Community Spotlight when we reunite with two original founders of Sweet Honey in the Rock – Louise Robinson and Carol Maillard. They have just completed their 51st year as a phenomenal legendary female acapella group who are still going strong, traveling the world, and spreading positive inspiring messages. I am honored to speak with them and share their story with you. I will also share a sample of their Retribution recording – check it out. Kudos and much respect to these women!
