This segment opens with the first movement of William Grant Still's Symphony No. 1 (Afro-American). After some wide-ranging discussion, we hear Silk Hat and Walking Cane of Florence B. Price, followed by additional discussion of Classical Music by African-American composers. Both composers are profiled at AfriClassical.com, which features
a
comprehensive Works List and a Bibliography for each by Prof. Dominique-René
de Lerma,
