That’s all for now. Suga’ in My Bowl is back on WBAI August 17th and we’ll have another edition of “On the Bandstand” on air and online next Sunday with a fresh set of listings.
Special program note: even though we’ve just wrapped up WBAI Radio’s Summer Fund Drive, you have one last chance to grab a copy of last week’s premium of Howard University professor Dr. Greg Kimathi Carr‘s fantastic biography of the legendary Pan African scholar Dr. John Henrik Clarke. You can support WBAI (and our show) by pledging for a copy of the Dr. Clarke special on CD or donating as little as $5 at the secure online donation site.
Hank Williams is an associate producer for Suga’ in My Bowl on WBAI Radio and webmaster for the Suga’ and Behind the Mic sites. He is also a PhD candidate in English and Africana Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center and teaches at Hunter and Lehman Colleges and The City College of New York.
