The Institute of African American Affairs (IAAA) at New York University was founded in 1969 to research, document, and celebrate the cultural and intellectual production of Africa and its diaspora. The collection includes recordings dating from 1971 to 1986 of The Soul of Reason, a radio talk show that aired on commercial radio station WNBC and NYU’s station WNYU. This collection was digitized over a period of years and it took a bit of untangling on the part of DLTS, University Archives, and Archival Collections Management to prepare this collection for publication. It is now available online, and the recordings sound great!
