Robert Honeysucker and Nicholas Bosanquet
Charles Kaufmann writes:
Bill,
your readers will no doubt be interested in listening to my interview
with Nicholas Bosanquet about his arrest along with the late Robert
Honeysucker, baritone, as they attempted to integrate a whites-only
concert given by Sir Malcolm Sargent and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in
Jackson, Missipppi in 1963, an action that resulted in the arrests of
both Bosanquet and Honeysucker, and which inspired a boycott of
unionized musicians in the U.K. of any future segregated concert:
We
talk much about the famous Civil Rights moments, and yet many, many go
unrecognized, particularly here, a Civil Rights action altering the
future of Classical music performance.
