Odetta’s One Grain of Sand

Jacobson, Dr. Matthew Frye (Yale University

Omschrijving

When Odetta Holmes--classically trained as a vocalist and poised to become the next Marian Anderson--veered away from both opera and musical theater in favor of performing politically charged field hollers, prison songs, work songs, and folk tunes before mixed-race audiences in 1950s coffee houses, she was making one of the most portentous decisions in the history of both American music and Civil Rights. For many among her audience, black and white, this young woman's pride in black artistry and resolve, and her open rage and her challenge to whites to recognize who they were and who they had been, too, modeled the very honesty and courage that the movement now called for.
