Interview Created By Greenburgh Children Nominated For NY Emmy

GREENBURGH, NY — On Saturday, May 6, Greenburgh Cable Access Television will find out if it has won a 2017 New York Emmy award. “Whatever Happened to Black Wall Street,” created by Xposure Greenburgh WXGB Fun Finance Radio, was nominated in the Children/Youth category.

The documentary features 102-year-old Dr. Olivia Hooker, who is the last living survivor of the KKK ransacking and burning of a black neighborhood in Tulsa, OK in 1921.

She is a Greenburgh resident and a founder of the Tulsa Race Riot Commission which demanded reparations for the riot’s survivors.

Supervisor Paul Feiner said the Xposure After School Program was important and meaningful to children of the community.

“Here at town hall, we have helped facilitate the youth’s access to the cable access television studio as well as to program space needed to support their radio program,” he said.

The Emmy-nominated radio interview first aired on the Town of Greenburgh Cable Access Television in April 2016
