The K Experience

Taken straight from the Petey Greene.com website (cos I can't say it any better than them):

"Ralph Waldo “Petey” Greene ( January 23,1931- January 10,1984) was an African American radio, television, and media personality, activist and hero. As a radio disc jockey, Ralph Waldo “Petey” Greene Jr. was a beacon of societal truth for two decades in the black community of Washington D.C. Petey wasn’t afraid to “tell it like it is” as he spoke out about social injusticies and championed racial pride and equality during a time of radical change in America. "

Check out the rest of the Petey Greene.com website for more information on his life and his legacy. You can also check out his wikipedia entry. Lastly you can check out the movie of his life "Talk To Me", where Petey is played by Don Cheadle.
