Black Women in Radio (BWIR) will reveal its much-anticipated National Historic Collection and Oral History Project and LEGENDS: The Evolution and Legacy of Black Radio Culture at Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF) Conference April 27-29, 2023, at the Library of Congress.
The distinguished “Inaugural 30,” now with a final total of thirty-eight stellar professionals are the foundation of this collection, which spotlights each woman’s unique contributions to radio on a local, regional, and national scale.

Each woman’s unique career is a multi-dimensional journey, rich in history and ripe with full-bodied experiences.

Participants in this project, regard their inclusion in this permanent collection as a phenomenal formula for compensation to remedy the countless years of exclusion of minority women from historical industry conversations.
