If you win the contest on the radio, you had to fly around this Futra Mart on Third Avenue West, which no longer exists, maybe that’s one of the reasons, but they were a supermarket right around Elyton Village, very nice people, and they participated with us in the promotion.

Title A name given to the resource Jack the Rapper, Trade Publication Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 59: "Moving along to folder 60 is a piece from… anyways…. Alright and this is… this has a two copies as well as the original issue of Jack the Rapper. This came out in January 11, 1989, Issue #666, America’s oldest largest circulated black trade publication. I don’t think it’s in existence anymore but we used to get them at the station all the time. Jack the Rapper was in touch with black DJs, black music people all across the country. And as a matter of fact I wrote to him before I went to WJLD to see what he thought about me doing a syndicated show, or more pointedly a radio show on 1950s music and doo-wop and vocal groups and so forth, and he answered me saying that ...and I sent him a taped sample of what I could do... and he said “I think you should consider doing that as a syndicated show,” but at least I got an answer. Anyway, the cover of this particular issue is a remembrance of Dr. King. His life and it has his date of birth and date of passing but also a speech that Dr. King gave to the American Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters back in August, 1967 giving a lot of credit to various broadcasters who had done good work in the interests of civil rights, and he mentions very specifically Tall Paul White. He says “No one knows the importance of Tall Paul White and the massive non-violence demonstrations of the youth of Birmingham in 1963” ...and goes on to talk about Pervis Spann and the Mississippi summer project and Georgie Woods in Philadelphia. The significance of this is now that speech is accessible on Youtube where you can hear him say what he has to say about Paul White and you can hear this huge amount of applause that took place immediately after mentioning his name. So Paul and his contribution and his courage were really noteworthy by his peers during the period of crisis, 1967, when this speech was made, and flies in the face of a lot of people who would like to lay claim as radio broadcasters to inspiring the Birmingham masses when most people know it was Paul "Tall Paul" White and his work. It’s a speech worth reading." 1980s Birmingham Civil Rights Jack the Rapper Martin Luther King Jr. Paul "Tall Paul" White Trade Publication https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/66313ea6d6286d774709e46f350fa62d.jpg 338fc76c579e8733cee4bf0d26fcc021 https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/41895cf33ff51ddced583fa43b3a3c5e.jpg 6294633e3f1c29082a3d99ad74af9f0c https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/38fcb686ef4765ce0114f7d026b4520b.jpg cd831020c59ef34107db5cecbecbe14b https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/4bdc6c1fed67249adb56ea19f8112310.jpg 9ad7ebf16650e6373c29b7c3d5cf855b https://www.thebbrm.org/files/original/6a85e2d998ca1ed03dc75d7f24bd7fbb.jpg a9dd6b0a1384b06210550220c2f1adb3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Ephemera Collection Description An account of the resource 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.

Title A name given to the resource Clipping, "Smooth Talker" Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 57: "Alright, we’re moving along now to 57. Folder 57, We have a clipping in two parts from the Birmingham News, July 14, 1989, an interview with Erskine Faush. And a lot of good history here. He’s in the studio at WATV and much can be said about the man. He’s certainly been on the air longer than anybody else. 1951 is when he started.

King Blues Hour Description An account of the resource Box 8 Folder 56: "OK, Folder 56 is a sample of the B.B. King Blues Hour. This was a program that B.B. King produced or that he was the jock on but I’m sure he had help producing it at the time. In 1989, a series of shows that were delivered by long playing records, 33 RPM records, where he had a theme each time and then would play records associated with that theme. These were products put out by Bullet Productions, and this is a sample sheet from one of those 33 RPM records. For instance, this Blues Hour was considered Blue Money. That was the theme, Blue Money. And during that he would play “My Money’s Green” by Little Charlie and the Nightcaps, he would play “Get Rich Quick” by Little Richard, “Your Cash Ain’t Nothing but Trash” the Clovers, he would play on and on and on. He would play lots of really really good and obscure blues pieces. He didn’t play himself. “Money Honey” by the Drifters and so forth. And we have a lot of these Blues Hour shows in the BBRM. We actually have the discs and programming. We played his program on WJLD from something like 8 to 9 in the morning or 9 to 10 in the morning on Saturdays. Only on Saturdays." 1980s B. B. King Music
