This video clip speaks for itself regarding the intersection of jazz and the civil rights struggle.

The woman being interviewed is Marian Logan (1920-93), Duke's long-time friend. She was a cabaret singer in her youth and, as an adult, a civil rights advocate and New York City Commissioner of Human Rights.

The link below will direct you to the Wikipedia site with fascinating information about the Logan family tree. For example, her father-in-law was the first treasurer of Tuskegee Institute in 1882. http://tinyurl.com/7bb9j74
