What Ignorance And Racism Does

The reliably excellent and informative On An Overgrown Path recently featured a blistering post on the injustice done to Rudolph Dunbar, a black conductor of the mid-twentieth century of whom you and I have never heard. The post explains why this is so and the injustice involved is such as to depress and enrage in equal measures. Not exactly a pleasurable read - but a necessary one.
