Dave Brubeck: Confronting Campus Racism

When Dave Brubeck returned from World War II, he formed a quartet with an African American bassist (Eugene Wright) and began touring to universities. In this video, Brubeck relates that how he coped with university administrations that did not want a mixed race band on their campuses.

Awesome! Thank you Mr. Brubeck RIP, your music is as fine as your values sir. We need more men such as him. We need to get this into an algorithm so it shows up everywhere on KZbin!!

RIP Eugene Wright.

He was a decent guy. Like Norman Granz was. We still need more of the kind. Not just in music. In life, in the whole world.

For now I don't feel too old to use the word "badass", it fits perfectly here - along with courage.
