Known as “The Black Eagle,”Joe Madison is a groundbreaking radio personality and civil rights activist who can be heard every weekday morning on SiriusXM Urban View.
Joe has devoted his career to raising awareness about issues around the world, encouraging dialogue among people of different backgrounds and raising money to support multicultural education and institutions.
Joe’s radio career began in 1980 at Detroit’s WXYZ-AM. In the early 1990s, he joined WWRC-AM where he worked to develop crossover appeal while discussing racial and other issues with the station’s multiracial audience. In the late 1990s, Joe started his own online talk show before moving to Washington, DC’s WOL-AM. The popularity of this led to syndication on the Radio One Talk Network and its XM satellite channel.
In 2015, he led a campaign to secure a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame for comedian, activist and local hero Dick Gregory. Joe lives in Washington, DC, with his wife, Sharon. The couple has four children and five grandchildren.
