Our partners at the HBCU Radio Preservation Project have been hard at work exploring and connecting with HBCU radio stations across the country through archival recordings, oral histories, and visits to historic campuses.

Now, listeners have a chance to hear firsthand how these stations serve as vital communication hubs, launching pads for Black voices, and catalysts for social change.

I bought a seed starter kit a few years ago that consisted of 1020 seed trays and a set of 2.5 inch seed pots, along with an insert that holds the pots upright. Unfortunately, the insert adds another inch or so of height, which cuts into the space available under the grow lights.
