The first college radio broadcast, in 1920, was under the personal call letters of Wendell W. King, a Black Union College student, the chief engineer and an avid amateur radio hobbyist from the age of 12.

WRUC did an excellent job telling his story, including the race-based discrimination he faced at #Schenectady General Electric. You can read it here:

Writing about the Mohawk National Bank's great wig giveaway of 1970 made me dig into the history of the bank itself, which was established in 1807 as one of New York State's first four banks. It had about a 195-year run, then was merged into the usual non-local banking conglomeration.

Much more, including instructions on how to use the sidewalk teller, at the link:

My latest #LocalHistory post features some ephemera from one of #Schenectady's longest-lasting and well-loved local department stores, The Carl Company. It first opened in Medina in 1891 but moved close to the #ErieCanal in Schenectady in 1906. It expanded into suburban stores in the '60s, and lasted until 1991. Featured on the blog are some of the books into which shoppers pasted Gold Bond Dividend stamps for discounts:

On my local history blog, getting back to posting about whatever catches my eye. In this case, that's the story of Schenectady's Evan Richards, a Nott Terrace High School student who in 1946 won the Kodak National High School Photo Contest with a shot of a Freihofer's horse and bread wagon.

Not big history, but an interesting story.
