10761 - Dave Brubeck: The white musician who fought a segregated America - The Big Smoke
When he was a child of around six or seven, jazz pianist Dave Brubeck’s father introduced him to an old African-American man who had, years earlier, been branded on the chest with a hot iron. The experience of seeing such barbarity perpetrated on another human being profoundly disturbed the boy and for the rest of his life, Brubeck was fiercely opposed to racism, and tried in his own way to fight it.
