Instead of a cut and paste bio page, this might help:

Joe Madison, alternatively known as "The Black Eagle" or merely "Madison," is a Washington DC radio talk show host and activist. After spending his young adulthood in various NAACP positions (including Executive Director of the Detroit NAACP), he moved on to host radio talk shows in Detroit and eventually Washington. Joining an otherwise white lineup at WWRC-AM in the early nineties, he developed a crossover appeal handling issues that included race, but were aimed at the station's multiracial audience. The nation's capital's preeminent black talk station, WOL-AM, became his catapult to further impact, including syndication on the Radio One Talk Network and its XM satellite channel. In addition to his broadcasts, he has engaged in hunger strikes and other activism ranging from Sudanese slavery to securing a star for the Four Tops on the Holywood Walk of Fame.

How's that? No charge.
