The current shaky social and political climate reverberates aspects of the 60's tension and pushing back in Roy Harris 1967 Symphony 11. Although I befriended Roy Harris after Symphony 11, we often discussed race, and politics. Roy was devoted to the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and he was a member of the first cultural exchange with the former Soviet Union. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dr_jg-hl0g
