No music, no introduction, no interlude, no outro
This week on From the Vault we explore a recently restored recording from the series The Free Music Store, free public weekly concerts organized by Eric Salzman, former Music Director of WBAI in New York City.

This week on From the Vault we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington for Civil Rights by listening to a unique news documentary from our historic collection titled I Have A Dream. It was produced by Pacifica Radio three days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
On this edition of From the Vault we turn the clock back to 1993 when Pacifica Radio devoted an entire day to recognize Black August, the annual commemoration of the liberation struggles of Africans Americans that began with the killing of prisoner George Jackson on August 21, 1971.
