Black History Month: Special Programs on HPPR & HPPR Connect

Celebrate Black History Month with special programming on High Plains Public Radio throughout February. We're thrilled to share these one-of-a-kind features with our listeners all month long, on both HPPR's main signal (HPPR Mix) & our news-and-information second service, HPPR Connect.

Journalist Ida B. Wells once wrote, “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” All month long, look to High Plains Public Radio to shine brightly as we celebrate Black History Month. Tune in for special programming spotlighting Black voices, music, art, activism, history and more. Check out the full schedule of shows you can catch, and spread the word!

From profiles of social justice icons to a showcase of musical genius that changed our shared cultural landscape forever, don’t miss these unique stories, podcasts, and features that honor the contributions of Black thought leaders throughout time.

For the full schedule of programming, view the slide show / PDF included on this page. Please take note that we've collected a spectacular lineup that spans both our main signal (available on the dial across our region) and HPPR Connect (available at 94.9 FM in Amarillo, and streaming worldwide on our website).
