Do you think a radio sta– tion run for and by black people would be of value? In order to determine how the black community felt about the subject, I took to the streets with the same question. Below are the comments. Mrs. Fanny Smith stated that it depends on what kind of entertainment is pro– vided, If it provides a well– rounded program of informa– tion, education, job and busi– ness contacts then it would be real nice, With this type of thing it would make us feel like we were a part of the community, Mr. John Hartley said yes. Such a station could provide communication on the many activities taking place in the black community, It will help the race to get acquainted. Augie Roland stated that he was in the same bag, Black things for black people. Norma Jean Coleman of 526 N, E. Alberta gave her opinion of why we need a "black radio station,'' She feels that we are supposed to be equal but we are not, they have a black station in Seattle and California, but Portland hasn't any, except for one hour every Sunday when they had "Candy Man" but how long did it stay on?

So she feels that ''black people are qualified to have a station just like 'KISN.' All we need is a chance to prove ourselves, but it seems to me that the 'whites' are afraid to give us a chance, maybe because they feel that we might become superior to them.'' Mr. K, Cook, government worker, stated that a black station is really a must pro– viding that it does have white sponsors as well as black. He also feels that the black can and will support such a station, as well as the white, The white man has all of the radio stations and most of the music culture that is played is from their culture, / WINGED MARATHON ,IGEON RACING STARTED O\JQIN6 THE ORl61NAL OLYMPIC GAME6 (776 8.C.-934 AD.). ifiE / ~ LONGE6T FLIGHT WAS THAT OF Tl-IE -;--.c f?UKE OF WELLINGTON'6 PIGEON WHICH, IN 1845, FLEW FROM OFF THE COA5T OF WEST AFRICA TO ONE MILE Fl20M LONDON.

The black man should be able to listen to music from his culture as well, Seattle, California and even your Southern States all have black radio. Portland should not be that far behind, Ben I eonard Ask The Man from Equitable about Living Insurance -Family Style By the time Portland re– ceives black music all of the other states have already had months in advance, I talked to about 50 people concerning black radio, most of them black people, I have yet to talk to someone who disapproves. Of course I believe that most of the people who have their ads in the Advance Times would not mind sponsoring the black radio, BENJAMIN M. LEONARD 2040 S,W, FffiST AVE. PORTLAND, OREGON 97201 BUS.
