(WXYZ) — As we continue to celebrate Black History Month in metro Detroit, 7 Action News hosted a Black History Month digital roundtable on Monday night.

The roundtable took place at the historic WGPR-TV in Detroit.

The WGPR William V. Banks Broadcast Museum is housed within the original studios of WGPR-TV along Jefferson Avenue in Detroit.

In 1975, Banks achieved his goal of owning a television station, and WGPR became the first TV station independently owned and operated by an African American.
