Program 66: Who Will Blow the Trumpet?

Civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs explains some of the resentment African Americans feel toward whites who participate in the civil rights movement to satisfy their own emotional needs. But, she observes, the movement offers whites the opportunity to create a spiritual movement of their own. Aug. 20, 1963. [CSDI program number 66; UCSB tape numbers A7587/R7, A7588/R7]

The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) was founded by Robert Maynard Hutchins and was based in Santa Barbara, California, from 1959 to 1987. During that time it brought together many of the most capable and distinguished minds of the times to discuss vital issues facing American society of the day. Thanks to donors Neal Linson, Ceil Pulitzer, and Stanley Sheinbaum, a project has begun to digitize and make accessible on the web some of the most important conference proceedings, talks, and dialogues recorded by CSDI.
