In the fall of 1971, a group of volunteers in Atlanta set out to build a radio station by the people, for the people.

But just two months after launch, Atlanta police tried to shut it down — accusing the station of spreading radical politics. From 32 watts to 100,000, this is the story of how one scrappy, volunteer-run station was born in Atlanta.
