ineni was over 25 years old and breaking down at 
e\"ery Him— we had to find a wav to get new 
equ:: : to keep

drop}»-^i lu u»- 1 «o. 1 ni,u >%r imu i>) lmuhi ll agaUl. 

We needed more staff and i»rw posit loru to help the 
station cany out its musion. And Congress tlireat 
ened to (and has) cut the CPB funding which com 
munity stations get. 

So what have we accomplikhed during 
thoMT post six year*? The bigjjcM pniblom 
was the debt burden and wi; have raised 
mt)re money in listener support each and 
every yeur to pay off over $ 20(),000 in 
debt. It took almost .1 years to work on and 
conclude a 14-year transmitter lease for 
WBAl. It has taken over S year» to ct>m- 
plete and pay for |$.S(>(l,00()| the new mas- 
ter Antenna ut the l.mpire State Building 
which gives the station unprecedented ct)V- 
erage and a stronger, clearer bignal than 
ever before. 

We raised $225,000 for our Studio/ Equipment 
Campaign through the geiterous donations of om 
members, and after a year of fundraumg and plaii 
mng. we completed the first real studio renovation 
with new eqiupment m 25 years at WBAl m 
December of 1995. In 1990, we staned gening 
audience research reports and we studied the num 
bers ai¥i rexiewed the {>attenis which showed a 
high potential, but a small audience. And we began 
real audience building through programming and 
increased our audience by over 50,000 the next 
year. Today, our audience figure u almost 200,000 
per week, the highest of the Pacifica slatiotu. Our 
membership has also grown by several thousands

and stall hired to help us grow. We got the first 

satellite for WBAl m the summer of 1995 and 

added a secoivl dish for tlie KU baitd i^ebruary,

^ ()() p m Midnight Black* & Indians: A Living 

History Irom the days of Columbus when Nativi- 
Americans and .Africans were enslaved by l-.uiopeans. 
they often escaped to make common cause on Amencan 
frontiers "The Indians escaped first, and then, since they 
knew the forest, they came back and libeiated the 
Africans." writes Richard Price of the Samarka people of 
Suriname in the 1680s. 

In addition to being allies, the two peoples were forever 
intertwined as husband and wife, brother and sister, 
mothei and daughtei Centuries before the Declaration of 
Independence. Black Indian maroon colonies challenged 
European domination. For nine decades in colonial 
Brazil. Black Indians governed a walled cit>' of 10.000. 
the Republic of Palmares, and fought off repeated Dutch 
and Poiiuguese invaden. 

Ilie alliance i cached its greatest flowering on U.S. soil 
in Wth centur) llorida where Black and Red Seminoles 
hold the Inited States .Aimed Forces at bay in the first 
Vietnam Despite every effort to pit red against black, 
the alliance lived It was revived when Martin Luther 
King. .Jr. united with Native Americans during the Poor 
Peoples March in 1968. 

This three houi program will focus on the pioneering 
woik. Hloik Indians. A Hidden Heiiiagc by William 
Loren Katz and will featuie leadei^ of the local Black

the animals: but one million human beings are 
in cages in prison. The pnson industrial com-

Freeman's Jessup Township" represents the results of 
the raast nghts desire to establish "base areas" through- 
out the United States, with the local militia group as the 
paramilitary enforcement arm of their authority. 

This movement emerged at the histonc 1992 meeting at 
tstes Park. Colorado, which brought together many 
members of the neo Nazi movement with seemingly 
more acceptable groups like Lany Pratt's Gun Ownen; of 
.■\menca The siiategy developed there was a popular

natural world. 

Wednesday May 22 
7:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday. Welles On The Air .\n 
all-new examination of the fieiy presence that was Orson 
Welles on the radio. His innovations in the theater were 
often financed by roles on such radio programs as The 
March of Time and The Shadow. The success of his stage 
company. The Meraiiy Theatre, led to a weekly dramatic 
hour on WCBS. The infamous production of War of the 
Worlds and the panic iliat followed led to finther notori- 
ety, but also to Hollywood and Citizen Kane. 

Two of the rebroadcasts feature the theme of intoler- 
ance: in a 1937 episode of The Shadow, the invisible 
avenger faces a hate-group called The White Legion. In 
the 1941 anthology series The Free Company. Welles pens 
and narrates His Honor. The Mayor, about the reaction in 
a small Texas town to a scheduled Klan meeting and the 
right to assemble guaranteed by The Bill of Rights. This 
show may have led to the opening of Welles F-BI file. 
Other programs will cover Welles own lampooning of his 
larger-than-life persona with guest appearances with Jack 
Benny, and as a blowhard Broadway actor on Susffense

"I aduie WBAI and I don t know what I 
would do without you. Thanks to all your 
projjrammcis 

Comment from WB.M listener survey 

.\s spring is finally appioaching-at lasi'- 
the WBAl Local Board is l(X)king ahead at the 
issues which WB/M must address over the 
coming 2-3 years. Good planning takes 
preparation, and for the last few months, 
weve been busy collecting infoimation and 
organizing a dialogue with station staff, sup 
porter?, and listeners, to give structure and 
shape to our planning acli\ilies. 

One of the nchest sources of information 
comes directly from you. in your calls, let 
ters. and comments to the station. At a recent 
Board meeting. WBAl supporter Andrea 
Cisco, a marketing speciahst. gave us a won 
derful presentation about the Listener Survey 
that was in the Folio last spring. It took her a 
long lime to analv-ze because we received so 
many-more than 1.000! The amount of 
information you shared was both gratifying 
and daunting. Here are just a few of the 
things we learned... 

.Among those of you who answered. 74% 
live in .New York. 23% live in New Jersey, 
and the rest were from Connecticut and 
Pennsylvania. More than half of the surveys 
were sent in by women, and young women 
(under 30) seem to be our fastest-growinp 
group of new listeners. 

Nearly half of you said you have been lis 
tening to WBAl for less than 3 yeai^. But all 
of you hsten to WBAl more than the average 
radio listener and you are very loyal and 
enthusiastic about the station. 

You don t think we promote ourselves 
enough You would like to sec WBAl have a 
much higher profile and be more visible to 
the public .'\nd you want your Folio and pre 
miums ON IIML! 

You would also like to hear more news 
.ifviiii .iilmlu", oiitsidf Manh.ill.in In panic- 



ular. you want WB.M to increase coverage of 
"the outer bor<JUghs' and New Jersey You 
asked foi moie women s progiamming and 
moie humor and culture on the an 

While you think the general level of pro- 
gramming has improved a great deal, you 
told us we can still do a lot better You want 
producers who are better prepared, more 
articulate in front of the mic. and more pro- 
fessional in their presentation 

TIL\NK YOU for taking the time to let us 
know what was on your mind. Well be using 
this information to keep improving the pro 
gramming and other station activities, and 
we 11 will give you periodic updates on our 
progress 

In the meantime. YOl' can let us know how 
we are doing by keeping those cards and let- 
ters coming. Coming soon: WBAl in (he 
Boroughs, a series of public forums for you to 
meet us in person, so stay tuned .Vnd if you 
would like to help us plan a forum in your 
neighborhood or get involved in other plan- 
iring activities, drop me a line at the station 
or send me an e mail. We really want to hear 
from you.

WBArs Annual Cinco de 
Mayo All-day Special 

i:oop.m. Latino Journal. Host Santiago Nieves and crew kick off 
our CInco de Mayo witfi a look at tfie Mexican American activist 
community in New York, and how it is building bridges with 
other sectors of the Latino community. What are the common 
issues affecting us? How has the Mexican community fared 
under Giuliani, Pataki and the Republican Congress? They will 
also take a look at anti immigrant policies coming out of 
Washington. 

2:oop.m. Qnco de Mayo 1996: Bienvenidos a la CelebracionI 
Gonzalo Aburto, host of La Nueva Alternativa fTuesdays. 10 
a.m. noon), and Mario Murillo give us an introductory look at 
the significance of Cinco de Mayo with a 30 minute Mexican his 
tory lesson of the 20th Century. From Zapata to Marcos, the cur 
rent political and economic crisis in Mexico will be put into a 
proper context. 

2:30p.m. NAFTA Two and a Half Year Afler: Do We Still Have To? 
Free Trade, the Mexican Peso Crisis and how the Zapatistas 
Crashed the Party of State! In this special report, we take an in 
depth look at the various crises facing Mexico today, from the 
ongoing civil conflict in the Southern state of Chiapas which has 
spread to other regions of the country, to the massive unem- 
ployment levels resulting from the peso crisis of 1994, to the 
corruption scandals within the ruling Institutional Revolutionary 
Party (PRI). The last two and half years have been among the 
most tumultuous in the history of Mexico. We will try to make 
sense of these and other developments with a number of 
reports, including documentaries produced by Pacifica sister sta 
tion KPFK in Los Angeles. Special guests include )ohn Ross, 
journalist and author of Rebellion from the Roots, Mexican 
author Carios Monsivais, Mariclaire Acosta, President of the 
Non Governmental Human Rights Commission in Mexico, plus 
many others. Hosted and produced by Mario A. Murillo. 
3:30p.m. Who Are the Real Illegals? Join Utrice Leid for a discus 
sion of the anti-immigrant rhetoric coming out of Washington, 
the state houses and the corporate media has put the issue on 
the front burner in this year's election. Yet most of this discus 
sion has been conducted without any real accurate data about 
the impact immigration is having on the United States. And the 
scapegoating has been directed primarily at Mexican immigrants, 
both documented and undocumented, as well as to other 
Latinos. In this segment we will present clear information about 
the subject in order to shed light on the debate with a number 





of special guests, including Juan lose Gutierrez of One Stop 
Immigration in Los Angeles. Carios Monsivais, and many others. 
And don't forget, it was the United States that invaded Mexico, 
not vice versa! 

5:00p.m. New Worid Gallery CInco de Mayo Mix. Join Chico 
Alvarez and Gonzalo Aburto as they share some of the best 
music from a broad collection of Mexican classics and contem- 
porary sources. You'll be surprised with what you hear.

the most militant unions in California, spearheaded by migrant 
farm workers from Mexico. 

8:oop.m. The African Struggle In Mexico: A Firsthand Report 
from the Quinto Encuentro de Afromexicanistas in Michoacan, 
Mexico. Many of the greatest moments in African history were 
written by Blacks in what is today Mexico. Relatively few Laliiius 
and Blacks are aware of. and are able to build upon, the exien 
sive history of mutual support that the predecessors of each 
provided one another against colonization and slavery in this 
hemisphere. Predominantly African communities exist in some of 
the poorest areas of Mexico. Their relations with other Mexicans 
is a lesson in cross ethnic community building that cities like 
Los Angeles may look at for consideration. In this program, we'll 
explore this part of the Mexican reality which lor many years has 
been conveniently overiooked by historians, journalists, policy 
makers and cultural activists. 

9:00p.m. Mexico in NewYork Titian: The Mexican and Mexican 
American Reality in New York City. A live talk shciw with Ir.Kjfrs 
of the Mexican c ommunity in New York, with listener phone

Alternativa on Tuesdays, this is one you won't want to miss!

Million Letters For Mumia 
Mail Delivery 

Honorable Janet Reno 
Allomcy General 
US Depanmeni of Justice 
Washington. DC 20530 

Dear Attorney General Reno. 

I am aware that you have received thousands of messages — including from 35 con- 
gressional representatives, the N A A C P. and the National Rainbow ( oaliiion - urging 
the Justice Department to intervene in the case of Mumia Abu Jamal The call for the 
Justice Department to take action persisted, even after the stay of execution was granted to 
Mr Abu Jamal, and became more specifically directed at asking for a comprehensive civil 
rights investigation 

Your response has been that while the Justice Department has the statutory author- 
ity to investigate state court proceedings, and where civil rights violations have occurred to 
prosecute the parlies responsible for those violations, there is a five year statute of limita- 
tions in both cases - LNLHSS TUi:RH IS SIGNIFICANT EVIDHNCH OF AN ONGO- 
ING CONSPIR.\CY 

Yes. Mumia .Xbu Jamal s trial occurred in l')S2, eight years beyond the statute of 
limitations But there is. indeed, significant evidence of an ongoing conspiracy to deny Mr 
Abu Jamal his human and civil rights and to assure that he be executed regardless of his 
innocence To cite just one recent example of that conspiracy, Mumia .Abu Jamal was 
denied his right to communicate with his attorney in confidentiality Confidential legal 
notes were duplicated andpresented to the Governor of Pennsylvania, the very person who 
had signed Mr .Abu Jamais death warrant on June Isl Further documentation of that 
ongoing conspiracy will be presented to you 

I join with thousands of others, once again, to urge you to conduct a comprehensive 
civil rights in\estigation to examine all the ways in which there has been and CONTIN- 
L'ES TO W 3 conspiracv on the part of the Stale of Pennsylvania, from its executive to its 
judicial branches, to silence Mumia .Abu Jamal once and for all In light of this conspira- 
cy, we request that all Philadelphia police files pertaining to Mumia Abu Jamal. including 
those on police officer Daniel Faulkner, be disclosed A Justice Department civil rights 
investigation would make a significant contribution toward guaranteeing the new trial that 
Mumia Abu Jamal must have if justice is to be served 

Yours truly.

Ida B. Wells 
Remembered 

Play prBtnier^s on WBAI 

Ask jny African American investigative jour- 
nalist who they're inspired by and most likely 
the name of Ida B Wells Bar nett will be at 
the top of the list Though she is little 
remembered by most people in the African 
American community, many journalists — par- 
ticularly those of color look to her pioneer- 
ing work to end the terror of Black lynchings 
(a task that placed her own life in great dan 
ger) and find a self-made newsp>aperwoman 
who's work helped change the idea of justice 
in this country 

WBAI will present the premiere of Remake 
the Race A RadioPlay-Remembrance of Ida 
B Wells-Barnett by Karen Carrillo on June 
19th (Juneteenth) The play brings the spirit 
of Ida B Wells-Barnett back to life and pre 
sents the issues she faced within a radio-style 
interview on WBAI Wells-Barnett' s anti-lyndi- 
ing crusade was based upon efforts to 
"remake" the image of the race, and image 
that had created the idea of African 
Americans as savages worthy of brutal deaths 
because of their own lack of civilized prac- 
tices Besides pointing to the inaccurate 
images of Black people that were being rein 
forced in the years after slavery. Wells Barnett 
worked as an activist within the community 
to widen the arena for recreational and cul- 
tural outlets, in the form of theater clubs, 
some of the first African American women's 
clubs, and literary meeting groups 
A very strong-willed and forceful v/oman, Ida 
B Wells Barnett had many admirers, and just 
as many detractors Professional jealousies 
have played a large part in the reason why 
her work is so little remembered today 
Remake The Race will bring listeners closer to 
understanding who Ida B Wells Barnett was. 
and why her spirit remains important tcxiay

Michael Parenti 

discusses with incisive clarity, humor, and passion the prob- 
lems of American democracy. U.S. imperialism, economic 
power, and the invented reality of the news and entertain- 
ment media. He creates an engaging rapport with his listen- 
ers, evoking a lively participation. A Yale Ph.D. in political 
science, he has taught at several universities and published 
widely. His books include: Power and the Powerless: 
Democracy for the Few (now in a sixth edition); Inventing 
Reality: The Politics of the News Media: Make-Believe Media: 
The Politics of Entertainment: Land of Idols: Political 
Mythology m America: The Anti-Conuuunist Impulse: and 
Against Empire. The Los Angeles Times Book Review described 
him as "Radical in the true sense of the word. Parenti digs at 
the roots which... sustain our public consciousness. He has 
long been one of WBAI's iT»st popular guests.

Larry Josephson is an unforgetiabU part of 
WBAI's past, who is returning for a special to 
celebrate /lis thirty years m radio He continues 
to inspire strong feelings today He prepared for 
Folio a description of his life and work, a selec 
tion of which follows It is both immodest and 
self-deprecatory, like Larry himself The com- 
plete text (and I had to leave out some of the 
funniest parts) is avadable on the WBAl FM 
Web Site (http //www wbai org) or by sending 
a stamped, self-addressed envelope, marked 
"Josephson". to me at WBAl. 505 Eighth 
Avenue. NYC 10018. Dave Burstein. Folio 

Thirty years ago. on March 15. 1966. when 
Howard Stem was sril! in leather diapers, and 
Don Imus was a choir boy. Larry began his 
now infamous morning program. In the 
Beginning, on WBAI. Larry revolutionized 
morning radio in New York, then dominated 
by treacly personalities like John Gambling, 
Big Wilson and George Edwards, who some- 
how managed to appear cheerful and opti 
mistic at 5 AM! l.arr>' was then a night person 
who worked for IBM as a programmer. In 
those pre personal computer days, he had to 
stay up all mght to get on the mainframe in 
the basement of the Time-Life building. So 
Larry often arrived late, half asleep and 
grumpy — or at least until Larry the Bagelman 
delivered his bagel and coffee, which Larry 
the-J. a card earning gastronome, would reg- 
ularly trash as too greasy or tough. Larry and 
Larry would then insult each other for a few 
mmutes. 

During Its six year run. In the Beginning 
became the mommg switchboard of the "revo- 
lution." mixing protest music with announce- 
ments of demonstrations, monologues trig- 
gered by articles in the Times, listener calls, 
off-the-wall promos ("this is. a, Lawrence, a, 
Welk for. a. cancer. ")^all punctuated by 
heated arguments about the Vietnam war. 
drugs, flower power, abortion, civil nghts, gay 
& women's liberation — and four star restau 
rants ("food is more important than life 
itself." says Larry). Students occupying 
Columbia University President Grayson Kirk's 
office called Larr>' to denounce "the corrup 
tion of the power structure." while smoking 
President Kirk's cigars, dnnking his cognac 
and reading his private memos on the air. 
Along the way Larry produced award winning 
documentaries and specials like The Little 
People A Visit to a Dwarf Convention, and 
Pactftca Ls 25. a history of Pacifica Radio up to 
1974; Weavers Day. and marathon readings of 
Ulysses Larry was often critical of sacred cows 
of the left — more a skeptical observer of the 
movement than a part of it. Like his mentor 
Bob Pass. Larry produced a program that was 
existential, associative and deliberately 
unplanned — one event suggested the next. 
His mixes were memorable: Lyndon Johnson's 
insistent lies about Vietnam, mixed with Kate 
Smith singing "God Bless America;" or Jimi 
Hendrix' "Star Spangled Banner" under some 
ultraconservativc announcer denouncing rock 



and roll as "Ucnl music." 

In the Beginning was highly 
personal, oscillating wildly 
with Larry's moods: manic on 
the occasion of his marriages 
and birth of his children, sad 
at the end of a marriage or 
the death of his child, or 
depressed for no apparent 
reason — just like his listen 
ers. Larry's radio character 
was Larry, or as much as the 
FCC, the libel laws and com 
mon decency would allow. 

Along with Bob Fass and 
Steve Post, Larry defined and 
perfected "live radio" at 'BAl, 
adding his own curmudgeon 
ly humanity, not to mention 
thousands of bagels con- 
sumed for the cause. "Fass, 
Post & Josephson" were fol- 
lowed some years later by 
Paul Gorman. Julius Lester 
and many others who added 
their own individual touches 
to the live radio form. 

Larry returned to WBAl in 
1974 for a two year stint as 
station manager, a job for 
which he was profoundly 
unsuited. After two years of 
continuous staff meetings. 
Larry left the station again, 
thoroughly biunt out. vowing 
never to return. He returned 
anyway, in 1979. to do 
Bourgeois Liberation. 90 min- 
utes of live radio on Sunday 
mornings. The hiatus did 
nothing to improve his dispo- 
sition or his attitude toward 
his allegedly fellow human beings. 

Asked to sum up his radio career. Larry 
opined, "Everything I need to know, 1 learned at 
WBAl. I sf)ent twenty years — on and off at the 
station. 1 met Mozart and Brecht, The Weavers 
and The Goons, James Joyce, Jacob Bronowski, 
Martin Luther King, Timothy Leary, Alan Watts. 
Fats Waller, Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Judy 
Collins, The Beatles, Phil Ochs, Abbie Hoffman, 
and Bob & Ray. 1 also acquired two wives, three 
children, eight cats, a dozen therapists, uncount 
able "relationships.' and a few good friends 
plus radio skills that no school could ever teach. 
And I heard about sex. drugs and rock and roll 
at WBAI." says Larry coyly. "Had 1 stayed at 
IBM. I would have been downsized or dead by 
now' 

"My heroes remain George Orwell. Lenny 
Bruce. Pete Seeger— all of them spoke truth to 
power— and Kermit the Frog for his humanit\ 
Return with us to those thrilling days of yc\ 
teryear when Larry the J exclaims, over tin- 
final strains of the "William Tell Overture. 
"Breathe'" The lone stranger ndes again. 




Larry is currently the host of BRIDGES A 

Uberal/Conservative Dialogue which is heard 

on 90 public radio stations (in New York on 

WNYC-AM 820. Sundays at 8 p m )
