Tune in to Out-FM on WBAI.org, 99.5 FM, on Tuesday from 8-9 PM when we will remember and honor the heroic life of Jerry Meyer, a highly accomplished historian, scholar, communist activist, and, later, an out-gay man, who defined his life around solidarity with oppressed people. He died last November at the age of 80. Jerry devoted much of his life to the fight to preserve and strengthen Hostos Community College, a unit of the City University of New York or CUNY in the South Bronx, where he taught history and organized activists. Hosted by Bob Lederer.
On the program, Out-FM's Bob Lederer will interview two of Jerry's dear friends and colleagues, Wally Edgecombe, retired director of the Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, and William Casari, Associate Professor and College Archivist at Hostos.
