Anchor/Reporter Jarell Baker worked tirelessly on this project to ensure our Black History special showed the need to look deeper into the issues the African American community faces in our community.
It wasn’t about winning an award. We wanted to shed light on the African Americans issues, achievements and figures in our community. We wanted to show Black History is OUR history. The special was about uncovering the pain, the triumphs and how we can move forward to build a better future for EVERYONE in OUR community. I want to thank my former and current KXXV colleagues Leigha McNeil, Niyah Gonzalez, Trenton Hooker and Katie Williams as well as Tom Kwiat, Hannah Herald, Zack Dawson, Todd Unger.
