Ep 23 - Who were Antonin Dvorak and Harry Burleigh?

<p>What are the American Tapestry meta-threads – stories of exclusion and inclusion. Who was Antonin Dvorak? Who was Harry Burleigh? Burleigh was Dvorak’s student. Dvorak wrote the American Tapestry theme – String Quartet #12 in F major – the “American”. Burleigh was his student, collated most of the great African American spirituals and made them a key component of American culture. This episode shares it all and like they say on the late night infomercials, ‘all this and more’ as we explore the American Story on <em><strong>The American Tapestry Project</strong></em>.</p>
