. LemonGroveCAgov honored San Diego broadcasting pioneer tayarihoward yesterday. During his 50 years in broadcasting, he played a pivotal role in getting Black music on the air.
The City of Lemon Grove honored a pioneer of broadcasting today with a tree planting ceremony. KPBS reporter Kitty Alvarado tells us William “Tayari” Howard was also honored for decades of community service.
Shane Harris, the president of the People’s Association of Justice Advocates, put together the ceremony to honor his mentor in broadcasting after learning Howard had been diagnosed with brain cancer. During Howard's 50 years as a radio personality in San Diego, his smooth voice reached far beyond the county. He played a pivotal role in getting Black music on the airwaves, but he had to broadcast from Tijuana to get his own voice heard and Black music played.
Howard not only reflected on that time but also had a message for people still fighting for opportunities.
