When they started the station back in '73, what a lot of those students did back in those early days was take a stand because their voices were not getting heard on mainstream radio. Our campus radio station at that point was the clarion call to the black community for protests, rallies and various events. The students literally started the station because they wanted to get out the word about prejudice and racist activities in Nashville.
I can't help but honor that by continuing the spirit in which the station was founded. So the community, they have an affinity for the station because they know the rich history. And Nashville has had such a struggle with civil rights and housing and poverty and unemployment — and just feeling, in this city, like you're really not wanted here. So the community has been working on these issues for decades in Nashville, and the struggle still continues.
So for me, it's a joy to hear people echo it because I'm like, how many times does it take for y'all to learn something? I just keep hitting it as hard as I can as long as I can.
