Joe Madison is recognized as a human and civil rights activist, abolitionist against slavery in Africa, television commentator, columnist, lecturer, labor and corporate spokesman, musician, and athlete. He is an ordinary citizen of the world with an extraordinary commitment to the principles of human decency.

Madison also known as "The Black Eagle" needs two wings to fly. And for Madison that translates into successfully balancing the passions of talk radio and political activism. It's a balancing act that has won him praise in the talk radio industry, and civil rights community.




SIRIUS|XM host Joe Madison speaks with legendary NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown about the proposed boxing match between Muhammad Ali, former Heavyweight Champion of the World, and basketball superstar Wilt Chamberlain.







When many of his peers are "all talk and no action," Madison has spent his entire adult life in the trenches, engaged in the very issues he raises with his radio audience. It's a sacrifice that has meant going to jail for civil disobedience countless times, taking part in hunger strikes in opposition to apartheid in South Africa, and genocide and modern-day slavery in Sudan.
