Happy 100th Anniversary to Radio: Love Letters Honoring a Moment in History.

Part 5 of 5. Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.

Throughout the last hundred years, radio has provided insight into - and connection during - significant moments in history. Radio has always had a unique ability to illuminate the local relevance of national and global events, from the immediacy of Edward R. Murrow's dispatches from Europe during the Second World War, to the live broadcast of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech in 1963, to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, to the Rodney King verdict and subsequent riots in 1992.

And of course, radio was there on September 11, 2001, broadcasting live as those horrific events unfolded, and continuing through the aftermath to ease uncertainty, provide comfort and support to our communities, and keep audiences informed during a time of national crisis.

Our final Love Letters to Radio honor the memory of that awful day even as they celebrate the incalculable value of the service radio continues to provide to our communities and our country during challenging times.
