I am researching radio stations with predominately black audiences from the years before and during the early civil rights movement as part of a museum project. Specifically, I am looking for airchecks and news reports from these stations that could be edited together with music from the era to reproduce the experience of listening to radio during that time period.
Does anyone know of a collector who specializes in this type of material? I have found a couple of websites that include airchecks from WLAC in Nashville by DJ's such as Bill "Hossman" Allen, Gene Nobles and John "R" Richburg. I would like to find the people who may own* this material, as well as airchecks/news reports from other similar radio stations of the era. I would also be interested in the same from station WDIA in Memphis.
