[bill london]

> KRFP, Radio Free Moscow, announces the availability of an online audio 
> archive featuring recent events concerning racism and human rights.  A 
> dozen audio files, including the panel discussion on "Southern Slavery 
> As it Wasn't," a speech by Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law 
> Center, and a speech by Carl Mack, President of the Seattle chapter of 
> the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, can be 
> downloaded for free from http://www.radiofreemoscow.com/.  The RFM 
> audio page also links to sermons by Pastor Douglas Wilson on the 
> Christ Church Web site.
>
> RFM Board Chair Leigh Robartes notes, "KRFP wished to serve the 
> community by making this audio available to people who couldn't attend 
> the actual events.  By linking this audio, we hope the people of 
> Moscow can become better informed about the important issues of our day."
>
> KRFP is aiming to be on the air May 1, 2004, although the new 
> grassroots radio station is already making waves in the nation's 
> burgeoning independent media movement.  According to the Independent 
> Media Center at http://idaho.indymedia.org/, "The station has already 
> demonstrated great promise, by distributing great audio via the Net."  
> Additional audio available from the radiofreemoscow.com Web site 
> includes MCA forums on the Patriot Act and local water concerns, and 
> extensive audio coverage concerning the arrest and detention of 
> University of Idaho student Sami Omar Al-Hussayyan.  Last fall, the 
> station also provided online audio of candidates forums for the Moscow 
> City Council election.
>
> RFM Board Member and Webmaster Bob Hoffmann stated, "We are proud to 
> make these audio collections available to Moscow, and the entire 
> world, through online streaming.  This is but a small sample of the 
> types of programming we will be broadcasting once KRFP hits the 
> airwaves."  The board encourages interested individuals to get 
> involved by becoming members at the student ($15), regular ($25), or 
> Founder ($100) level.  Those who wish to take a more active role can 
> contribute organizing and fundraising skills.  As the group moves to 
> build its studio, KRFP is also looking for contributed labor from 
> carpenters, electricians, painters, and others with trade skills.
