New World a Coming features accounts of African-American social life in 1940s Harlem and serving in the military during WWII. The show aired political and racial concerns through true-life accounts African-American experiences, such as U.S. soldiers on leave denied at restaurants and movie theaters, problems of discrimination in the workplace and banks, unequal pay and opportunities, and other civil rights issues.

Broadcast on New York radio station WMCA, this show was based on the work of nationally-known black journalist Roi Ottley.  New World A'Coming was frequently narrated by African-American actor Canada Lee, and showcased the work of other leading black artists (Duke Ellington wrote the theme song).  NWAC was a powerful and politically incisive program that aired political and racial issues in the US military and on the home front.  After two seasons, the program expanded its focus to include other minority groups.
