Community Calendar
*** For generations, WNAA has been more than a radio station—it has been the soundtrack of the North Carolina A&T community, a voice for Greensboro, and a home for music, culture, news, and history. Now, you can help preserve that legacy.
The HBCU Radio Preservation Project is partnering with WNAA to document the stories of the station through oral history interviews with listeners, alumni, former staff, volunteers, and community members whose lives have been touched by WNAA. We’re also looking for original recordings of WNAA programming—including airchecks, specialty shows, interviews, live broadcasts, and other station recordings—to help preserve the station’s history for future generations.
If you have recordings in your possession that you’d like to digitize, please drop them off at WNAA no later than August 1st. If you are interested in recording an oral history interview for the project, visit hbcuradiopreservation.org/share-your-story and submit a request. ***
