A seven-year-old named
Bobby checked into the
Medical College of Georgia
Talmadge Hospital here one
morning, then spent part of
that afternoon getting to know
a group of physicians.
When he was six weeks old,
doctors had found that Bobby
had a heart murmur. They
diagnosed his problem as a
congenital heart defect.
After some difficulties in his
first year, Boby had developed
into a healthy boy, and now he
was back in the hospital to
have doctors examine his heart
and decide if surgery would be
needed to correct the defect.

inserting a 30-inch-long tube
through a vein in his arm. They
were guiding the long tube to a
point inside the boy’s heart,
where it would be used to
precisely diagnose the nature
of his heart problem. And,
Bobby helped with the
procedure.
“Bobby” is a composite of
many patients, young and old,
who are coming to Talmadge
Hospital daily for a procedure
called ‘cardiac catheterization’.

INTRODUCING
NEWS IN
THE MOTHER
TONGUE
For Black people, the mother tongue is the
same all over the country. It’s the unique
way we have of expressing ourselves.
That’s one of the reasons the National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It’s simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people.
That’s the National Black Network—a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere.
It’s a bet that when you listen to an NBN
station, you’ll know where it’s coming from.
After all, it’s carrying your news.
