Society & Culture
It's National Pig Day in the US and Baba Marta Day in Bulgaria. We'll give a nod to both and observe the anniversary of the first Salem Witch Trial. It's also a big day for black Americans, there being anniversary goodness from Hattie McDaniel, Paul Robeson, and Harry Belafonte. Also, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, and the connection between them. Plus, there's JFK audio from the day he announced the creation of the Peace Corps, today in 1961. All that, Ron Howard on his birthday, and a brief history of FM radio's beginnings -- all in just under five minutes!
