Radio Free Dixie was a radio program broadcasted from Cuba by American Civil Rights Leader Robert F. Williams in the early 1960s that advocated for racial equality. It called on Black Americans to rise up against what Williams saw as an inherently racist system. The radio program featured music, political conversation, and storytelling. Join me on a discussion of the history of RFD and how militancy of the airwaves has become easier, although presented with new challenges.
