- Description:
- This recording opens with an introduction of the program by Boyd Lewis. The first segment, which begins at 1:30, is a feature about the anti-abortion film "Silent Scream." There were two screenings of the film in DeKalb County in the spring of 1985. One was presented by June Webb, a registered nurse who is a member of anti-abortion organizations. The program features audio excerpts from Webb; Atlanta Constitution columnist Carol Ashkinaze; Atlanta attorney Margie Pitts Hames, and Ann Rose, an abortion provider at the Midtown Hospital. The second segment, which begins at 18:58, is a rebroadcast of a previous "Southwind" program about the Atlanta Crackers, a successful minor league baseball team, as well as the Atlanta Black Crackers. The program features former players and coaches. 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:
