- Description:
- This recording opens with an introduction of the program by Boyd Lewis. The first segment, which begins immediately into the recording are excerpts of a report about the lynching of Michael Donald in Mobile, Alabama. The recording is incomplete with missing segments. The program features audio excerpts from B.J. Hayes, a local member of the Ku Klux Klan; Norman Cox, a member of the Mobile school board, and Jim Miller, President of the Mobile National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The second segment, which was labelled on the tape case as "University Desegregation" was described in supporting archival documents as a feature about the Georgia State Board of Regents recommendations for the desegregation of Georgia's colleges and universities. However, this segment does not appear on the original recording. The program ends with a sign off by Boyd Lewis.
"Southwind" was a radio program about the issues, people, and culture of the South that aired on WABE-FM, Atlanta's public radio station. The series, which aired from 1980 to 1987, was conceived, produced, and reported by journalist Boyd Lewis. - Local Identifier:
