Dear Public Radio 90 Members, Throughout the unending roller-coaster ride we’ve all been on during the

last year, WNMU, Public Radio 90 has been here for you to straighten out the twists and turns of the news.

Staying connected to the most accurate news coverage and information through the fast-changing events of the last year has been vitally important for people across our upper Great Lakes region.

Every step of the way, Public Radio 90 has been here to bring you the essential facts, crucial context, and insightful analysis that these unprecedented times require—that you need to make the best, most informed decisions about the daily life of your own household.

WNMU has also been here for you with the joyous, restorative powers of music from classical, jazz and folk to swing, Blues and Broadway, offering you a refuge from the worries of the day, and brings you a sense of calm and connection in a time marked by distance and separation.

The music on Public Radio 90 brings peace to a disorderly day, and a warm and calming refuge just when you need it most.

The months ahead offer fresh hope and dreams, plans and promise, inspiration and reconnections—revitalizing changes never more needed than in these times.

But for WNMU, Public Radio 90 to stay strong and able to respond to the unknowns ahead, we must count on your strong support. The simple truth is that listener donations are the most powerful part of WNMU’s funding base.

As I write this letter today, your help is needed once again to raise $43,000 during our upcoming February fundraiser.

Every dollar you give is used to support the Public Radio 90 programs and services you enjoy and depend on. Any amount you can give will make a big difference.

WNMU, Public Radio 90 is here for you because of you. Everything you hear on WNMU is produced through the generous support of our listeners who understand the value of trusted, independent news sources and the restorative power of great music,

We’re here for you because of you, and every dollar you give makes a difference.

Monday-Friday at 9am

Monday, February 1 through Tuesday, February 2, Norman Gilliland reads A Complete Record of The Olin Album by Chauncey C. Olin. Olin recounts the activi-ties of abolitionists in southeastern Wiscon-sin and the flight of slave Caroline Quarles via the Underground Railroad in 1842.

Wednesday, February 3 through Friday, February 12, Norman Gilliland reads Make Way For Liberty: Wisconsin African Ameri-cans In The Civil War by Jeff Kannel.

Hundreds of African American soldiers and regimental employees represented Wisconsin in the Civil War, and many of them lived in the state either before or after the conflict. And yet, if these individuals are mentioned at all in histories of the state, it is with a sentence or two about their small numbers. Relative to the total number of Badgers who served in the Civil War, African American soldiers were few, but they constituted a significant number in at least five regiments of the United States Colored Infantry and several other companies.

Monday, February 15 through Friday, February 26, Jim Fleming reads American Dia-logue: The Founders and Us by Joseph J Ellis.

The story of history is a ceaseless con-versation between past and present, and in American Dialogue Joseph J. Ellis focuses the conversation on the often-asked question “What would the Founding Fathers think?”

Chapter a Day from Wisconsin Public Radio has been airing in Wisconsin since 1927 and

features a variety of readers. Episodes are available online for one week after they air.
