What of the reckless and abysmal disregard by management, program directors,
lsb's and the pnb to preserve the programs of today and in recent years.
Truly, not only is this omission irresponsible but the past history so justly
praised will be the last such contradiction that Pacifica makes "On The Record"
to the truth of recent times.
Yes, each year I give, but who's agenda does this "white-out" serve?
...made in america
Also, can any one tell me where to find the Pacifica Mission at the main
website?

WBAI mines Pacifica Radio Archives' rich 50,000-tape library
By DAVID HINCKLEY
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Monday, November 26th 2007, 4:00 AM
Radio history, like so much of our popular culture history, has been destroyed
far more often than it's been preserved.
That makes the Pacifica Radio Archives particularly valuable, and the five
Pacifica stations, including WBAI (99.5 FM), will spend Tuesday broadcasting a
small, rich sample of the 50,000-tape archive.
Yes, since it's Pacifica, it will be history as told by alternative and
sometimes unpopular voices, like the Black Panthers. And yes, the 19-hour
broadcast, 4 a.m.-9 p.m., will be yet another in WBAI's seemingly endless round
of fund-raisers, because broadcasting alternative voices means getting minimal
support from traditional sources.
But one of the things that's striking about the sixth annual Archives special
is how many of the voices that seemed radical and even threatening a few years
ago now sound as if they are only asking for what's fair and just.
Former South African President Nelson Mandela will be heard on this show, as
will Rosa Parks, who sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, and Gloria Steinem, an
early voice for modern feminism.
WBAI also has a strong arts component, and tomorrow's programs include a
special on "The John Coltrane Legacy."
"Nowhere else does this powerful documentation of United States history,
culture and art exist," says Brian DeShazor, director of the Archives. "It's
story telling at its best, which gives us a keen sense of how we've come to be
who we are as a nation."
Specific specials through the day include "The Power of African Women,"
"Conscientious Objectors from Vietnam to Iraq," re-enactments of taped Richard
Nixon White House conversations, "The Black Panther Legacy," "Where Were You in
1968?", "Women of the World Speak Out," "Malcolm X," and a "No Nukes" reunion.
Other voices include Angela Davis, Ossie Davis, Rob Reiner, Robert F. Kennedy,
Joni Mitchell, Duke Ellington, Ayn Rand, Allen Ginsberg and Harry Shearer.
