The National Black Radio Hall of Fame, a pivotal institution dedicated to celebrating and acknowledging the significant contributions of Black personalities in the realm of radio, is excited to announce that nominations for its 2024 class are now officially open.
The National Black Radio Hall of Fame is headquartered in St. Louis, MO, at Harris-Stowe State University’s Vashon Center. The President and Founder is Bernie Hayes, a St. Louis radio living legend, who broke many barriers in radio. He started his radio career in 1950. Established as a nonprofit organization, the National Black Radio Hall of Fame serves as a beacon of knowledge and appreciation for the history and achievements of Black Radio nationally. This esteemed Hall of Fame was created in response to the historical underrepresentation of Black professionals who have played a crucial and influential role in the evolution of national radio. It stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and their profound impact on the industry.
