Pacifica Radio Archives’ “From the Vault”
Each week the Pacifica Radio Archives chooses a program "From the Vault" of broadcasts in a half-hour program.
This week on From the Vault we present highlights from our Back-to-School twelve-hour national broadcast that supported the Pacifica Radio Archives mission to discover, restore and make accessible the audio treasures in our collection.
– Host Margaret Prescod features Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking on non-violence.
– KPFK host Sonali Kolhatkar and KPFA host Brian Edwards Tiekert play selections for a recording of the 1964 funeral of James Chaney.
– KPFK host Eric Mann plays Malcolm X’s famous speech “The Ballot or The Bullet,” delivered right before the 1964 Presidential election.
– Pacifica Radio Archive Director Brian DeShazor, PRA Grant Advisor Adi Gevins, PRA Archivist Jolene Beiser and KPFK Senior Producer Christine Blosdale discuss the project American Women Making History and Culture: 1963-1982, and play selections from a recording made by Marcia Tomkins during her infiltration of the Ku Klux Klan in 1964.
