                <text>In 2009, BBRM staff and volunteers began the archiving of this collection, with the arranging of objects chronologically (1935 – 1995) and the purchasing of proper archival storage materials. In 2011, an oral finding aid with provenance was constructed by conversations between University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) volunteer Lindsey Reynolds (now at University of Georgia, Athens Library) and BBRM Director Bob Friedman. In 2013 and 2014, those interviews were transcribed by UA SLIS volunteer Michael Mitchell (known affectionately as the MMT).  For each object, the original finding aid conversation has been added and can be found in quotes in the description section. As of the most recent online uploading in August, 2019, the Ephemera Collection consisted of eight boxes containing 413 folders with approximately 850 files, spanning the period 1935-1989.</text>

              <text>Box 7 Folder 16: "We’re at folder 16 which is a headshot from 1978 of Leo Taylor who was at WJLD, WBUL and at WENN radio. Ron January shared the following: He (Taylor) was originally hired to take over "Sound Off" (a Saturday morning talk show) in 1977 from Ron January at WJLD, and Dave Davis, station manager, had Ron January fire Taylor, and I guess that’s when he moved to WBUL.  Taylor, January says, did not prepare for an interview with Mark Lane who had written a book on the Jonestown Massacre. Dave Davis, told Ron to fire him and when Ron resisted, Davis threatened to fire Ron. Taylor was fired and January took back "Sound Off" - on Saturday mornings from 6-8 AM. As of the date of this post edit, Taylor is work Sunday mornings at WAGG 610 AM. Donated from photographer Lucious Washington."</text>
