Summary
'Black Radio/Black Resistance' provides a window into the most famous radio show you never heard of. The Tom Joyner Morning Show is a quarter-century-old syndicated black morning radio show reaching more than eight million adult, largely working-class listeners. It offers progressive political talk, soul music, humour, advice, philanthropy, and celebrity gossip. But the TJMS is not just an adult 'old-school music' radio show: it is an on-air organizer, fusing progressive politics and aesthetics. It focuses on specific political issues affecting and enraging African Americans. This work analyzes the TJMS's rise in the Clinton era, and its coverage of key events - 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, President Obama's elections and terms, the murders of unarmed black Americans and the rise of Black Lives Matter, and the shocking 2016 Donald Trump electoral triumph.
