14 jan 1968 & david eaton @wol radio

#OTD Sunday 14 January 1968, David H. Eaton hosted his weekly show, "Speak Up," on WOL radio. His guests were Stokely Carmichael (Black United Front co-founder), Courtland Cox (SNCC member) and Lester McKinnie (chair DC SNCC). The show aired from 11pm-1am.

Eaton and his guests fielded a number of questions from callers who asked about BUF and about the specific things that Washingtonians needed to do to advance black freedom struggles.
