"We have a very,very exciting program for you today. We're going to talk about several events that are going on here in the Washington, D.C. area that are actually "Spirit in Action". The music you hear in the background is a Washingtonian. She is a songwriter. Her name is Regina Blackburn. She's a native Washingtonian, she's a graduate of Howard University, she's a six time recipient of the prestigious Billboard Magazine Songwriting Contest, and I just thought today would be an opportunity, since we're gonna talk about Paul Robeson and his great music, to bring you a local writer so that you can hear some of the voices and sounds that comes from right from our community." - Pacifica Radio
