Black Press Day - HH Leonards and Dr LaDonna Boyd

This Big Blend Radio "From the Vault" episode honors Black Press Day, which commemorates when the first Black newspaper, “Freedom’s Journal,” was published in New York City on March 16, 1827. Featured guests are H.H. Leonards, author of "Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus: Life, Lessons, and Leadership," and Dr. LaDonna Boyd, CEO/Publisher of R.H. Boyd.

H.H. Leonards is founder and chair of the O Street Museum Foundation in Washington, D.C., and the Mansion on O Street, where Mrs. Rosa Parks called her home-away-from-home for the last decade of her life. Published by R.H. Boyd, the book "Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus" is a collection of inspiring memories compiled from the decade that Civil Rights activist Rosa Parks was a guest in author H.H. Leonards' home in Washington DC. See: https://www.omansion.com/

The Nashville-based enterprise is expanding beyond its curriculum offerings to include book publishing. Now, Dr. LaDonna Boyd is shaping and leading the company’s efforts to broaden its scope and offerings for modern needs. More: https://rhboyd.com
