Thompson Coburn Celebrates Black History Month With Radio Campaign on KMOX

February 2006

Thompson Coburn is celebrating Black History Month with a series of inspirational vignettes being aired on KMOX 1120 AM. Produced by the Missouri Historical Society, these one-minute spots salute the heroic and often history-changing achievements of St. Louis African-Americans, past and present.

During the month of February, spots will air at various times each weekday during morning and evening drive times, and once on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The spots are voiced by Donn Johnson, director of communications for the Missouri Historical Society, and former St. Louis television news anchor.

Thompson Coburn has approximately 300 attorneys nationwide and has offices in St. Louis, Missouri; Washington, D.C.; and Belleville, Illinois.
