Episode Summary

Re-Imagined Radio pays tribute to Black History Month, Black American culture, art, and history, and Destination Freedom (1948-1950), a radio series that dramatized the democratic traditions and cultural contributions of Black Americans, and, in the process, provided foothold for the later civil and human rights movements. We sample from original episodes of Destination Freedom to consider W. C. Handy, "The Father of the Blues" and the New Orleans jazz stylings of Louis Armstrong.
