Goodbye to KBOO and Welcoming our New Web Coordinator

KBOO Radio - Fri, 03/12/2010 - 5:21pm

Short Description: Goodbye to KBOO and Welcoming our New Web Coordinator

I'm sad to announce that this is my last month here at KBOO, as I will be moving away to be with family. I've found a wonderful second family here at the station and I hope that my time here has been a positive contribution.

While leaving will be difficult, I'm very happy we have selected Dan Gurin to take over my position and continue taking KBOO into the digital realm. The hiring committee had a tremendous amount of highly qualified candidates apply for the position, which made our selection process very challenging. But Dan stood out for a variety of reasons.

KBOO Raises Over $10,000 for Haiti

KBOO Radio - Fri, 02/19/2010 - 4:06pm

On February 18th, 2010, KBOO Community Radio in Portland, OR dedicated 13 hours of airtime to fundraise for Haiti relief efforts, due to a rare FCC waiver that allowed us to fundraise for organizations on-air. The last time the FCC allowed this was after Hurricane Katrina, when KBOO also raised funds on-air. 100% of the money raised during this time on-air and on-line is being contributed to four Haitian-led organizations.

Konbit pou Aiti (Working together for Haiti) - Working together for Haiti is a Haitian-American not-for-profit organization focused on building sustainable livelihoods for the communities in southeast Haiti (Creole name is Konbit pou Aiti).

Discrimination on the Farm in Oregon and the Nation

KBOO Radio - Thu, 02/18/2010 - 4:36pm

program: Food Show program date: Wed, 02/17/2010 Only 76 of Oregon's 38,553 farms are operated by African-Americans, according to the most recent Census of Agriculture. Why is that? Miriam interviews PSU black studies professor Darryl Millner for some answers. He talks about Oregon's exclusion laws, which barred blacks (including farmers) from settling in the state until well into the 20th century. Finally, we chat with John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, about a decades-old, still unsettled discrimination suit against the USDA. The USDA, which could settle the billion-dollar suit soon, is also being sued by Hispanic and female farmers for discriminatory practices. And don't forget to listen to our very varied call in comments from listners across the political spectrum. Keep the conversation going! 57:45 minutes (33.05 MB)
