Former NAACP Executive Director Benjamin Chavis joined the swelling ranks of talk radio hosts Wednesday.
Chavis will begin his show on WOL-AM Saturday. On Wednesday, he joined station owner Cathy Hughes on her afternoon show.
``I'm going head-to-head with Rush Limbaugh and all of them,'' Chavis said.
Chavis, who was fired last August said his broadcast will be a platform for liberal views, although he declined to characterize himself as liberal. ``Liberal is a bad word. I'm more of a liberator,'' he said. ``Everything I say is going to be in the interest of liberating black people.'' ILLUSTRATION: Chavis
