Summary:
Pioneer TV journalist Belva Davis overcame racism and sexism to become the first black female news anchor on the West Coast. She tells her story in her memoir Never in My Wildest Dreams: A Black Woman’s Life in Journalism. Then, Frank X Walker’s book of poems, Isaac Murphy: I Dedicate This Ride, was inspired by a 19th century jockey who rode three Kentucky Derby winners. The son of a slave, Murphy’s success earned him wealth and international fame. In the early years of thoroughbred racing, most of the jockeys were African-American. As the profession became more lucrative, black jockeys were replaced by whites. [Broadcast Date: February 6, 2012]
