A Word On Wurd

          Wurd radio 900 on the Am dial here in the city of Philadelphia Pa. is truly a great radio station.
The broadcasting seems to improve with every season change. It is a daily requirement for my
schedule. It's like taking your vitamin pills.
                  The information and education offered by the station is so vital to the survival of our
community at large. The radio station's news media is such a powerful force in shaping the public's opinion. It is vital to the African American Community and can be instrumental in changing lives.
             The station not only caters to and attracts black audiences but all ethnic groups.
     The the personalities that provide the commentary, information, and educational shows are of
extremely high quality. One listening to this station should always have pen and paper handy.
  I have heard life saving information in health reports, money making and tips on financial
matters, Religious, political and educational matters. It represents the voice of the people.
         In Africa's history, it was the voice of the drum sending messages through the airwaves. Before
talk radio here in Black America there were black newspapers books and word of mouth.

    During slavery there were codes and underground information.
    Today in this highly technical civilization we live in we have the computer with its cyberspace
highway providing an explosion of information and knowledge.
         Wurd breaks the news down into smaller pieces for us to digest.
  It's so sad that many Philadelphians are not tuned in to this station I've talked to a few. But when
I come across them I put the ...Wurd out.
        Congradulations to a great station and thanks to the late Dr. Walter Lomax who made this possible. Thanks to Sara Lomax Reese President Of Wurd who is doing a great and historical job.
   I quote, " THE GLORY OF OUR STORY IS IN THE MYSTERY OF OUR HISTORY " I read this on an illustration of art work. It is so true.
 Our stories have been denied and hidden from us. Information that we need must have a airway for us to receive. We have so many brilliant scholars, teachers , doctors etc. We need to hear from them. We have contributed so much to this society, yet much of it goes unrecognized.
     Thank You!!     WURD    Lets keep                                                                                          
                                                                                                               it going.
