Black Women In Radio Honors the Life and Legacy of St. Louis Radio Personality Tammie Holland Who Lost Cancer Battle
Tammie loved Josephine Baker. Baker, born in St. Louis (like Tammie) was the famous African American entertainer who excelled in France. In one of her NAACP speeches Baker said, “You know, friends, that I do not lie to you when I tell you I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. “ Tammie Holland is a cherished member of our professional broadcasting community and one of the luminaries in the Black Women in Radio (BWIR) Distinguished Inaugural 39, with her voice preserved in the BWIR National Historical Collection in partnership with the Library of Congress’ Radio Preservation Task Force, a testament to her lasting impact and extraordinary career contributions.

Two National Historical Collections: One Black Radio Heritage Treasure
The LEGENDS Collection and the Black Women in Radio National Historic Collection and Oral History Project are two national black radio heritage treasures that guide us through the untold stories of resilience, determination, adversity, and triumph.
These collections deliver unique perspectives from the men and women who have helped shape black radio culture. The Black Women in Radio National Historic Collection and Oral History Project is especially significant as it resolves one of the biggest archival oversights in American history, as it is the largest contemporary collection for black women broadcasters.
Business and corporate partnerships are needed. Contact Felesha Love at blackwomeninradio@gmail.com or history@bwirhs.com. As we continue educational research, everyone can play a part by following, joining, participating, and donating to BWIR/ BWIRHS.
If you have a piece of black radio history, we encourage you to let us know and contribute to these important collections. Through the BWIR and LEGENDS collections, we add value to American History and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the impact of black radio and the individuals who have dedicated their lives to it.
