Monday, 2/20

Hour 1:  Think is on holiday today. We hope you’ll enjoy Say It Loud – a one-hour documentary special that traces the last 50 years of black history through stirring, historically important speeches by African Americans from across the political spectrum. With recordings unearthed from libraries and sound archives, and made widely available here for the first time, Say It Loud includes landmark speeches by Malcolm X, Lorraine Hansberry, Angela Davis, Martin Luther King Jr., Henry Louis Gates, and many others.

Hour 2:  Think is on holiday today. We hope you’ll enjoy Can Do: Stories of Black Visionaries, Seekers, and Entrepreneurs – an hour long collection of richly produced and deeply layered stories of people who said “yes we can” and then did – A man tapes the history of his town with a scavenged cassette recorder, a woman fights for social justice with a pie, a DJ ignites his community with a sound. Hosted by Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actress, Alfre Woodard, these stories come from The Kitchen Sisters collection – stories of black pioneers, self-made men and self-taught women, neighborhood heroes and visionaries.
