Please tune in to the WHFR Journal tomorrow, March 7 at 1pm as we share a rundown of some exciting activities happening here at Henry Ford College. We'll also kick off Women's History Month with a new PRX special program from the podcast series, Monumental, titled "The Suffragist in the Basement". When it comes to women and monuments in the U.S., we seem to prefer mythical or allegorical women.

All WHFR DJs have the day off because Henry Ford College is closed Monday, March 3, 2025.

We will be broadcasting our satellite Classical feed all day today... please enjoy!

All HFC classes and regular operations and activities, on-campus and remote (online), will be canceled throughout the day and evening.

As we complete our spotlight on Black History Month, join us Friday, 2/28 at 1pm, as we share music, spoken word, art, and poetry that students and staff presented at the HFC Black History and Culture Student Showcase that took place on our campus earlier this week. We'll then feature a new PRX interview with author Aaron Robertson about his book, The Black Utopians: Searching for Paradise and the Promised Land in America. It’s about the hidden legacies of Black utopian experiments and what they teach us about the power of community today. Tune in Friday at 1pm on WHFR-FM.

Join us on this week's WHFR Journal Friday, 2/21 at 1pm for a special program from PRX called "Whispers in Wilmington". Produced this January, the program explores and uncovers the story of the only successful coup d’etat ever to happen on American soil.

This act of racial violence was designed to eliminate all memory of a highly successful Black community in Wilmington, North Carolina back in 1898 and involved involved racist mobs, as well as historians, city planners, journalists and others conspiring for decades to make a Black community’s onetime prosperity and strength unimaginable. Almost unimaginable.

Tune in to hear this powerful story.

February 23 marks the birthday of one of the great guitarists in the history of music, JOHNNY WINTER. WHFR PRESENTS will feature the music of Johnny Winter in an extended
edition of the program on Sunday, February 23.

From 3-7pm EST, tune in to hear music from Johnny's career as he explored the areas of blues, rock and roll and slide guitar that would have made Elmore James proud. From the incendiary first release, Progressive Blues Experiment in 1968 to his passing in 2014, Johnny set the music world afire with a raw, hard-edged approach to the music.

WHFR PRESENTS can be heard in the Detroit area at 89.3fm and worldwide via the internet at whfr.fm. Normally heard from 4-7pm EST, with a rotating cast of hosts, this will be an extended edition of the program to commemorate the life of a guitar legend on the date of his birth.
