David Griffith

October 1, 2021 - 6:40 pm

We are deeply saddened by the passing of David Griffith, a volunteer journalist whose gentle presence and persistence is familiar to many KBCS listeners.

In the words of David’s spouse Pat, “David found his work at KBCS really fulfilling. He enjoyed digging into community issues. He was trained in engineering but he loved journalism.”

David’s engineering career brought him and Pat to Seattle in 1974 from Richmond, Virginia. He worked for Pacific Northwest Bell (Lumen), Boeing, and the Washington Utilities Commission.

In addition to his volunteer journalist work at KBCS, David served on the board of the ACLU of Washington for 12 years.

Houses in this neighborhood are selling for at least a million dollars today, with property taxes shooting up each year.

Managing a nonprofit college radio station can be an equally rewarding and challenging experience. From my first experience as a young “hair-on-fire” college student reporter in the mid 1970’s to my longtime experience as a station manager, I have weathered my share of campus intrigues, the existential threats posed by protracted economic downturns, and the

Racialized Trauma

August 23, 2021 - 11:46 pm

 

Racial and inter-generational trauma can be destructive to the body, mind, and spirit. A person of color may wonder why they’re triggered when they watch racially-based, television stories,  see a police car in the rearview mirror or a Confederate flag on the back of a truck.  KBCS’s Kevin P. Henry interviews Estilla Lightfoot, who teaches courses on this topic at Tulane University in New Orleans.
