description	In exposing local listeners to Fela Kuti, WAFR in Durham, North Carolina wa one of a number of noncommercial institutions in the American South that celebrated African music ans musicians from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Indeed, the sounds of African artists reverberated from the control booths of the South's noncommercial Black ratio stations - not only WAFR, but also WVSP in Warrenton, North Carolina and WRFG in Atlanta.
