Under the Sun is pleased to announce that we won a grant to produce an episode about all things literary in South Florida.   This third episode aired on Saturday, June 27 at noon on WLRN 91.3 FM and WKWM 91.5 FM.  We are excited to bring you this program about writing and the arts throughout our communities. You can listen to the full episode here.

The grant was awarded by the Florida Humanities Council (FHC), the state affiliate for the National Endowment for the Humanities.  FHC is an independent, nonprofit organization that funds public programs throughout the state of Florida.

FHC-funded programs explore Florida’s history, folklore, environment, literature, music and art.  Libraries, civic groups, universities, colleges, museums, historical societies and theaters have received grants to sponsor humanities programs.  All programs are free and open to the public.

For information about applying for humanities grants, contact Susan Lockwood, Grants Director, Florida Humanities Council, 599 2nd Street S., St. Petersburg, FL 33701 or log onto www.flahum.org.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
