GBH

Beginning in the late 1960s, Latino activists associated with farmworker, Chicano, and Puerto Rican movements spearheaded efforts to establish bilingual community radio stations in rural locales and television programming in urban centers to address the needs of Spanish-language speakers. Like many archival programs, these programs were at risk of being lost to time. The American Archive of Public Broadcasting, a collaboration between GBH and Library of Congress, launched its Hispanic Heritage Collection this year, with thousands of digitized programs associated with these movements, including nearly 10,000 radio broadcasts from "Radio Bilingüe" and KDNA in Washington State’s Yakima Valley, and pioneering television programs like the children’s series "Carrascolendas" from Austin, Texas, "Acción Chicano" from Los Angeles, "Realidades" from New York, the Emmy-winning "Images/Imagenes" from the New Jersey Network, GBH’s "La Plaza," and much more. Join us in celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and stories that make up Hispanic heritage.

It's our 73rd birthday, and we're celebrating the occasion with a special #GBHMural! Named for the Great Blue Hill site of its original transmitter, GBH traces its roots to the Lowell Institute’s mission to provide “public lectures for the benefit of the citizens of Boston.” Ralph Lowell, Lowell Institute Trustee, Boston banker, philanthropist, and GBH’s founding father, championed broadcasting these lectures on the radio, so the Lowell Institute incorporated GBH in 1951. GBH’s first radio broadcast of a Boston Symphony Orchestra concert aired today. Thank you Ralph Lowell! #PublicMedia #RalphLowell
