When Union Theological Seminary decided to divest itself of its FM radio station, WRFK, there was a groundswell of reaction from listeners who feared they would lose their favorite station and their hookup to NPR. It all worked out OK, but that wasn’t known when the demonstration pictured above took place at UTS in the late-1980s.

I really miss my old friend, Wally Bless and I feel my own “activism” in Richmond, VA was sparked by Wally.

Name him.
