Higher Ground - Carol and Aaron Ammons - 2nd & 4th weeks
Higher Ground is a public affairs show that features Carol and Aaron Ammons on the 2nd & 4th Saturdays. On the 1st & 3rd Saturdays this time slot features music from WEFT's Digital Library. Higher Ground focuses on local affairs and on personal improvement that leads to community development. This public affairs show discusses issues that primarily affect the African-American community, however, the larger social fabric of America is also strategically interwoven into the dialogue.
HigherGround acknowledges and encourages the compassionate/passionate spirit within each of us. This spirit connects, supports and raises our collective consciousness towards the honoring of every member of community through sincere welcoming of their whole-hearted participation in it.
