Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Bob Friedman Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Brian Ward Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Transcript from audio snippet: Brian Ward: There was more of a subdued battle for civil rights. That’s not to say there wasn’t a great need for mobilization in cities like Charlotte, but there were very few major confrontations or conflagrations there in the 60s, not until you get really into the bussing crisis of the early 1970s. I wondered if radio in those places, actually had sort of a mollifying effect that actually kept things cooler. I found two very interesting stations: one, WBT, which was a major 50,000 watt station, that was heavily white-oriented but always included a certain amount of black-oriented programming; and another station, WGIV, which I sort of fell in love with, really, I thought this was a terrific station. I went by a white southerner from South Carolina called Francis Fitzgerald, who somewhere along the way line ahead of the game on the civil rights issues and began to encourage more and more overt promotion of voter registration drives, he was somewhat more willing to entertain the idea of black protests on the streets if the city government didn’t actually comply with desegregation ordinances and laws. But, you know, this guy was in a way a sort of a model of a progressive white southerner working with an overwhelmingly black staff, with DJs like “Chattie Hattie” Leeper and “Genial Gene” Potts to actually try to use the radio to encourage what was in a way a sort of nonviolent movement, and really had a good deal of success in achieving desegregation in Charlotte, in a relatively orderly manner. Bob Friedman: Were there connections do you find in your book or your research rather, connections that were made between these various disc jockeys and announcers from various cities…did Tall Paul have conversations with Nat Williams? Was there a web that was developing?

And the FCC is also listening at this time to the request regarding the renewal of the license for Johnston Broadcasting Company WJLD, and WJLD, WJLN-FM, and these are from 1974 and one can read… one can read the discussion. This does refer to the complaint referenced in Beverly Brazier’s statement as well because Reverend Robert McKinney is making a statement protesting and he was the plaintiff and his statement is in the folder.

Title A name given to the resource Broadcast Tower, WATV Description An account of the resource Box 4 Folder 11: "From the Birmingham Library Archives, the WATV 900 AM broadcast tower, located on the dirigible mooring on the roof of the Thomas Jefferson Hotel, located at 2nd Avenue North and 17th Street. The frequency 900 AM was previously held by WKAX in 1946 and later WLBS until 1958, both in Birmingham. New management entered in 1958 under the call letters WATV in 1958, but thanks to the 1961-62 Broadcast yearbook, we know that they did not move their offices to the Jefferson Hotel until 1961, so we are concluding that is when they utilized the dirigible mooring as their tower. It does seem from all accounts that the mooring was never utilized." 1960s Dirigible Mooring Thomas Jefferson Hotel WATV WKAX WLBS https://thebbrm.org/files/original/b4e679477bd94450a0e281eed7a602bc.jpg 79aac515582ba68127975f11b17f1d00 https://thebbrm.org/files/original/30eedc153a9233298d2c7f1a56b8bc46.jpg 94985a123811860cf484217ebd9883e1 https://thebbrm.org/files/original/c377ea1634f707c77d38831518c563d3.jpg cb7feea3fcbc3ef6821015f877c0cdeb https://thebbrm.org/files/original/28dbd06b7d10019c21bf1fee8d171ec9.jpg d6dbd7a9f76ddeca28b760079d0d9ea9 https://thebbrm.org/files/original/1567748fa630c4e04ce5ff277f309fbf.jpg 831afbbbb321cccbec2bcd8e9644b99a https://thebbrm.org/files/original/0eb37e0a50cb46896059751f1d13183e.jpg 96dcc3caf8a048edcc474ccfb3cd46e7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It’s unclear whether this is the entirety, no, excuse me, of course it’s not. Apparently it had 42 pages but this is just an 8 page piece. But I guess it’s in here because Shelley Stewart’s interview is in here. Once you’ve had multiple interviews with an individual it’s always nice to see how they recall history. Source uncertain.
