  • Resumen

  • It was the summer of 1964, 44 years after KDKA Radio first made history as the pioneer broadcast station to the world, that KDKA hired George Barbour, it's first ever African American reporter. And Mr Barbour was no ordinary reporter either. He had already been honored as a Golden Quill award recipient while working for the Pittsburgh Courier and went on to be honored again with the same award while working for KDKA. His crowning achievement was his heroic efforts in covering the March from Selma in 1965 for KDKA which he retold to Lynne Hayes Freeland in a TV interview in 1990 and you'll here a portion of in this episode. You'll also here from our own Chris Moore explain why Mr Barbour was a mentor to him and how he sees himself standing on his shoulders to this day as a professional in radio and TV. Speaking of TV, former News Anchor and KDKA's first ever staff announcer Lauren Mann remembers Barbour as a man of great professionalism and integrity. Thank you for taking the time to listen to this broadcast as we celebrate KDKA Radio at 100.
