Washington, DC- U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released a statement following the passing of Kernie Anderson.
“This week my thoughts and prayers are with the Anderson family as they mourn the loss of Kernie Anderson. Kernie is being rightly remembered as a giant of the radio industry who blazed a trail that many follow today. Kernie Anderson was an important voice for the African American community in Philadelphia and throughout the country. He fought vigorously to ensure that millions of Americans who quietly struggle had a voice. His role in helping to found Philadelphia’s Unity Day will serve as an enduring legacy of the kind of community he worked to create.”
