From PBS to KBLA: Tavis Smiley’s Mission

From his early days as a commentator on BET to his groundbreaking role as the first African American to host signature talk programs on both NPR (The Tavis Smiley Show) and PBS (Tavis Smiley), he has consistently used his platform to uplift stories that are too often ignored—those rooted in the Black experience, in the struggle for justice, and in the enduring quest for dignity.

Tavis Smiley keeps and real all the while pushing forward and uplifting voices that aren’t always heard.
